Interpretation of Landforms from Topographic Maps and Air Photographs: A Laboratory Manual

From Book News, Inc.
Contains exercises that focus on problem-solving and have evolved over many years of use in the laboratory section of the geomorphology course at Western Washington University. The exercises assume that the user has a basic understanding of topographic maps, aerial photographs, map symbols, contour lines, topographic profiles, and geologic cross-sections. Appendix A lists the name, location, scale, and contour of maps used in the exercises (only portions are presented at appropriate scales) for those preferring to work with the original maps.

Book Description
The intent is to develop the users ability to interpret the landforms on any map or aerial photo. Assuming that the user has a basic understanding of topographic maps, aerial photographs, map symbols, contour lines, topographic profiles, and geologic cross-sections, questions are posed to foster a mental process in problem solving. Includes topographic maps that show the contour interval in feet as well as an appendix (Appendix A) of map name, location, scale, and contour interval for each exercise. Geologists, geology students and teachers focusing on Geomorphology.
