Topographic Map
What does ELEVATION mean?
the height of landform/ how high the land is
Dropping something from a higher locations increases which energy?
gravitational potential
What is the average climate like in cities near the equator?
higher temperatures and more precipitation/wetter
What is the PITCH of a wave?
frequency of wavelengths; how hi or low
Oldest fossils are always located in this location of the rock layers.
Bottom
What does it mean if the lines on a map are CLOSE together?
steep land
Does a LESS flexible surface area cause MORE or LESS damage to an object if dropped on concrete?
MORE
What is a body of Land surrounded by water called?
island
Whats the difference between a boat horn and a whale song?
horn is louder/amplitude and longer wavelength/lower pitch
Volcanoes are usually located a. center of continents b. near a coastline c. near big cities
b near coastline where ocean/continent plates meet
if the numbers on a topo map increase by 200 feet, what would come between the index numbers of 600 ft and 1000 ft?

If I dropped Play-Dough on a concrete surface, towels, and carpet, would almost ALL the energy be transferred to EVERY surface?
No
What is the difference between a hill and a volcano in terms of elevation?
Volcanoes have higher elevations/are taller
What do patterns of waves help us know? Think amplitude AND wavelengths
if sounds are hi/low or loud/quiet
Name 3 things that can cause EROSION.
wind, water, animals, freezing/thawing temps,
warmer
Which surface area would almost all the energy be transferred to and WHY? Concrete, towels, carpet
concrete cause it's flat/ larger surface area
LEXINGTON hi: 77 79 80 76
SWEDEN hi: 75 77 74 72
What's the difference In the HI TEMPS of these citiies?
Lex has higher average temps/Sweden has lower
What would a low pitch's frequency look like?
very long waves/very few
How are sand dunes formed?
wind blows sand until it reaches an object and deposition builds the sand up
What do the "V" symbols usually indicate in a topo map?
rivers
Why do flexible surfaces like a screen protector help save your ipad screen from cracking?
it helps transfer energy throughout the flexible surface and NOT be a FLAT surface so it would crack
What is the average climate like in the desert regions?
high temps and dry/little precipitaiton
What is the rhyming song we use to remember "VOLUME"?
Amplitude, don't be rude. Turn you VOLUME down."
What are 2 ways we can PREVENT erosion?
plant roots, nets, barriers, less water usage, remove grazing animals
