About how far is it from Surfer's Town to Green Prairie?

A map is divided into areas based on latitude and longitude lines. Each area represents 5 degrees in both latitude and longitude. The key notes that a one-half inch length represents 10 kilometers. Each 5-degree latitude by 5-degree longitude area is a one-inch square. The town of Green Prairie is located at approximately 45 degrees east and 15 degrees south along route 84. Surfers Town is located at 50 degrees East and 15 degrees south. A road between the two towns drops very slightly below the 15 degree south latitude line.

What city is located at 10 degrees south, 38 degrees east?

A map contains four longitude lines beginning at 10 degrees south at the top of the map and ending at 25 degrees south at the bottom of the map. The map also contains five latitude lines, beginning at 30 degrees east on the left side of the map and ending at 50 degrees east on the right side of the map. Each line of latitude and longitude represents a change of five degrees. Six cities are noted on the map. Red Bank is located slightly to the right of the second longitude line and between the second and third lines of latitude. Rock City is located between the second and third longitude lines, but slightly closer to the third longitude line. Rock City is on the first line of latitude. White Beach is on the same line of latitude at Rock City, but is midway between the third and fourth lines of longitude. Green Prairie is located on the second latitude line and very near the fourth line of longitude. Surfer's town is also located on the second latitude line, but at the fifth line of longitude. Belleville is about midway between the second and third latitude lines and slightly to the right of the fourth longitude line.

Question 3 options:

Surfer's Town

Answer 1

Here are the answers to the questions based on the information provided:

Question 1: What do lines on a contour map indicate?

Answer: elevation above sea level

Question 2: About how far is it from Surfer's Town to Green Prairie?

To calculate the distance:

• Both towns are at approximately 15 degrees south latitude.
• Surfer's Town is located at 50 degrees east longitude, and Green Prairie is at 45 degrees east longitude.
• The difference between the longitudes is 5 degrees.
• Since each 5-degree longitude area represents a one-inch square on the map, and each half inch represents 10 km:
  • 5 degrees = 1 inch on the map = 10 km.

Answer: 10 km

Question 3: What city is located at 10 degrees south, 38 degrees east?

• The provided coordinates (10 degrees south, 38 degrees east) do not match any of the described locations directly. However, based on the layout:
  • The cities provided do not include one at those exact coordinates, but we can infer based on proximity.
• Since Rock City is situated closer to the third longitude (likely around 35 to 40 degrees east), and we're looking for something at 38 degrees east, the best guess is one of the nearby cities.

Answer: Rock City (as it is the only nearby city)

Question 4: What city is located at 15 degrees south, 50 degrees east?

• Based on the description, we have the following:
  • Surfer’s Town is at 15 degrees south, 50 degrees east.

Answer: Surfer's Town

Question 5: Which term is defined as the physical features of the land?

Answer: topography
