Using Map T-2 (Umnak, Alaska) in the back of the laboratory manual, calculate the gradient of Mount Vsevidof.
In order to do this, first place a straight edge object (e.g. ruler or piece of paper) on the map connecting Derby Point to Kigul Island. Then using the 1:250,000 mile scale bar, located in the front of the laboratory manual, measure out 2 miles on a piece of paper.

Next, starting at the 1,000’ contour line near Derby Point, measure out 2 miles (along the straight edge) using your scale markings on the piece of paper. Identify the elevation value at the end of your measurement.

Finally, using the gradient equation in your laboratory manual (Page 216), identify the gradient for Mount Vsevidof. You must show your work, using the equation in the instructions, in order to receive full credit.
Using Map T-9 (Park City, Kentucky) in the back of the laboratory manual, calculate the gradient of Bald Knob.
In order to do this, first place a straight edge object (e.g. ruler or piece of paper) on the map connecting Dome House Cave to the Golf Course. Then using the 1:24,000 mile scale bar, located in the front of the laboratory manual, measure out 1/5th of a mile (2 boxes to the left of 0) on a piece of paper.

Next, starting at the 800’ contour line near Dome House Cave, measure out 1/5th of a mile (along the straight edge) using your scale markings on the piece of paper. Identify the elevation value at the end of your measurement.

Finally, using the gradient equation in your laboratory manual (Page 216), identify the gradient for Bald Knob. You must show your work, using the equation in the instructions, in order to receive full credit.

Using Map T-13 (Mono Craters, California) in the back of the laboratory manual, calculate the gradient of Mount Lewis.
In order to do this, first place a straight edge object (e.g. ruler or piece of paper) on the map connecting Summit Lake to Parker Lake. Then using the 1:62,500 mile scale bar, located in the front of the laboratory manual, measure out 1 mile on a piece of paper.

Next, starting at the 10,800’ contour line near Summit Lake, measure out 1 mile (along the straight edge) using your scale markings on the piece of paper. Identify the elevation value at the end of your measurement.

Finally, using the gradient equation in your laboratory manual (Page 216), identify the gradient for Mount Lewis. You must show your work, using the equation in the instructions, in order to receive full credit.

Short Answer Example
Follow all additional instructions.

Faulting and volcanism help to shape the world around us. Describe each of these processes by focusing on:
Processes
How do these two items differ?
How does each shape the earth?
Types
What are the names of the different types of volcanoes?
What are the different types of faults?
Landform Creation
What landforms can be created as a result of volcanism?
What landforms can be created from the different faulting types?
After describing these features of volcanism and faulting, conduct additional research to locate one example (that is not included in our textbook) of each of the following:

Caldera
Normal Fault
Reverse Fault
When discussing these items be sure to identify its general location, name, and what identifies each as that type of fault/volcano. Make sure to cite your resources for where you obtained this information.
