Mapping Review
Across
- 1. short dashed lines drawn perpendicular to an enclosed contour line which are used to indicate a depression, always point toward lower elevation
- 3. map that shows the different shapes and sizes of a land surface using contour lines (no space)
- 8. lines that pass through points on a map that have the same elevation (no space)
- 9. level of the surface of the sea midway between the average high and low tides, referred to as 0 feet (no space)
- 12. configuration of a surface and the relations among its man-made and natural features, includes landforms, elevation, latitude, longitude
- 13. system for the detection of objects under water and for measuring the water’s depth by emitting sound pulses
- 16. height above sea level
- 19. line located along the 180th meridian; division between calendar day
Down
- 2. the measurement east and west of the Prime Meridian
- 4. the difference in elevation between two consecutive contour lines (no space)
- 5. the measurement north and south of the equator
- 6. meridian that runs through Greenwich, England; 0 degrees longitude(no space)
- 7. an explanatory accompanying a map, chart, or illustration
- 10. one of the 24 regions of the globe through which the same standard of time is used (no space)
- 11. global positioning system; radio navigation system that allows users to determine their exact location
- 14. line that runs between the points on a globe/map that represent the north and south poles of Earth
- 15. lines going from east to west across a map or globe that cross a meridian right angles
- 17. imaginary line around the Earth that divided the Earth into two hemispheres; located halfway between the north and south poles
- 18. a fixed ration between the size of a real object and the size of a model of the same object
