BASIC MAP READING Introduction Maps and their substitutes are of particular value to the military establishment. It is frequently necessary to identify ridges‚ valleys routes of movement‚ and other characteristics of a section of terrain that cannot be reconnoiter in advance. Plans for the future operations must be based on knowledge gained in part from maps their substitutes. Therefore‚ as future member of the AFP‚ you must know how to use and read a map. It is mandatory for you to know

A contour line (also isoline‚ isopleth‚ or isarithm) of a function of two variables is a curve along which the function has a constant value.[1] In cartography‚ a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level‚ such asmean sea level.[2] A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines‚ for example a topographic map‚ which thus shows valleys and hills‚ and the steepness of slopes.[3] The contour interval of a contour map is the difference

Introduction and background Tornadoes are among the most destructive natural hazards to human life and property. In the United States‚ approximately 1‚253 tornadoes occur every year (NCDC 2015) causing an average of 50 fatalities per year and $400 million in annual economic losses (Brooks and Doswell 2000; Boruff et al. 2003; Brooks and Dotzek 2008). In recent years‚ significant advances have been made toward understanding and measuring the atmospheric factors influencing tornado genesis (Brooks

MS 217 Dennis Borzakov Class 723 January 15‚ 2013 Problem HOW IS A TOPOGRAPHIC MAP MADE Hypothesis I think that to make a topographic map you have to see the form of the object from up top. To do this you need a satellite image. These images are called aerial photographs. Using elevation calculators and ground measures cartographers then make topographic maps. Materials • Clay model landform • Water tinted with food coloring • Transparency • Clear

A topographic map is a map that shows the actual shape of the landscape and the various heights of the landscape. The map allows geographers to see the height and shape of the land by using contour lines. Contour lines are lines that join together all points that have the same height above sea level. The height between contour lines is called the contour interval. The map on the opposite page has various contour lines with an interval of 50 metres. The numbers on the contours show how high the land
