Find out the Latitude and Longitude of New York from two maps (US Geological Map - Stop #1 and World Map - Stop#2) in Hallway.

Stop # 4: New York and Long Island Map Scale and calculation of distance What is the scale of this map? _ 1in = 7800ft Measure Long Island on this map 72 in Using the map scale, and your measurement of Long Island on this map, calculate how long Long Island actually is, in miles or kilometers. Show your work. Ans- we have the scale that is 1in = 7800ft So. 7800ft = 7800ˣ 72 = 561,600 ft = 561600/3.28 ft = 171,219.5 km (as 1km= 3.28ft) Compare your estimation of the length of Long Island to your previous one from Stop #1. Is this different? Explain. Ans- Estimation of the length of Long Island to the previous one from Stop #1 is different due to different measurement errors and calculations. 10. What are the approximate Latitude and Longitude of (sample 23o46'30″; 73o26'25″) of A. Rockville_ 43o 04’45” N and 76o 03’30” W B. Norton_ 43o 03’00” N and 76o 10’00” W C. Dixon _ 43o 05’30” N and 76o 13’00” W 11. Find out distance between Rockville to Norton. Show your work? Ans- Distance between Rockville to Norton on map= 8.4 cm 2.8 cm on map= 2miles on actual So 8.4 cm on map = (2/2.8) ˣ 8.4 = 6 miles 12. In what direction is Norton from Dixon?----- Along SE 13. How many hills there on the map? --- 4hills 14. In what direction is Summit Hill from Bear Mountain?--- Along SW 15. We have learned the technique of reading contour and geological maps data including the latitudes and longitudes in this lab. Additionally, we studied how to analyse contour lines along with the flow pattern of river and determine the elevation as well as how to apply map scales to compute the real distance between two locations on the map. Also we learnt to identify the geological features on map and interpretation of the data from the map as well.
