What is the first thing we should always do when reading an unfamiliar map?
Read the title.

What on a topographic map tells us that there are hills?
When we see the contour lines forms rings or a bulls eye.

What are the lines that run east and west of the prime meridian called?
What are lines of longitude or meridians.

What on a topographic map tells us what the lines are counting by?
What is the contour interval.

What is the last step when you are making a profile?
What is to connect all points.

What is zero degrees longitude?
What is the prime meridian.

How can we tell what direction a river is flowing?
We can either look at the elevation the river. Rivers flow from high elevations to low ones. We can also look at the v-shape, the point of the v indicates upstream.

What are the coordinates of this point? (see slide show)
What is 60 degrees N, 90 degrees East.

When making a profile, why is it important to always label the contour lines first?
Labeling the contour lines is helpful, because it tells us why where we should plot the points when we are graphing our profiles.
