Where is the highest point on the topographic map? Determine the average slope due north and due south of the highest point. Give your answer in feet per mile. Slope equals the change in elevation divided by the change in horizontal distance.

Question 2

What is the distance (in feet) indicated by adjacent contour lines? How is a difference of 100 ft indicated on the map?

Answer to Question 2

indicated by a heavier line.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
