Unit 4 Identify features of areas using geologic and topographic maps (with answers at the bottom )Part 1.?Use the following map, which shows the land features and rock types in Utah, to answer the questions below.Answer the following questions. What type of map is this?Are there any faults on the map? If so, what types?Around the Salt Lake, what is the geologic age of the area and what type of geologic unit is found there?South of Richfield, what type of rock is most prevalent?Which geologic area or rock is the oldest?Which geologic area or rock is the youngest?Are there any intrusive rocks found in Utah? And where?In the Green River and Price area, what fossil fuel would you expect to find there?Part 2.?Use the following topographic map, which shows the shape and elevations for part of Oregon, to answer the questions that follow. What is the contour interval?In what direction is Maklaks Spring flowing (downstream)? How can you tell?Which area is most steep of the areas enclosed in red, blue, green, or orange circles? How can you tell?If you were standing on the east side of the feature that has its highest point of elevation at 6,168 (shown in the yellow square box), what graphic would most represent the shape or profile of the geographical feature?Provide an approximate elevation for points W, X, Y, and Z (Z is pointing right to the line).Part 3.?Use this photo of Kapoho crater in Hawaii to answer the questions that follow. What is the contour interval?What are the elevations of lines A and B?Provide an approximate elevation for points W (point is inside the circle), X, and Y (point is on the line).ANSWER KEY:Part 1:It is a geologic map.Yes. There are normal and thrust faults.Quatenary is the age. Geologic units include, salt flats, and alluvial, lake, dune, glacial, and landslide areas.volcanic rockPrecambrian metamorphicQuatenaryYes, they are found between Richfield area and the Green River area.CoalPart 2:50 C.I.It is flowing south. Upstream is shown by the point of the V-shape that the contour lines make when in contact with the river. They point north. So, downstream is south.The red circle is steepest because the contour lines are closest together.Graphic C.Student can give a number between any of the following or provide the following format as well: W: > 5700 and < 5750; X: > 5950 and < 6000; Y: > 5650 and < 5700; Z: 5750.Part 3:20 C.I.A = 100 and B = 80W = > 300, X = < 40, Y = 400. ................
