Test - Geo

Skills
In the test, we will have to:
use maps and flow charts
-bearings
-latitude and longitude
-calculating slope gradients
-making cross-sections/transects
-aspect and relief of slope
-distinguishing between large and small scale maps

Gradient: Difference in height between top of slope and bottom of
slop, over horizontal distance (between top and bottom of slope)

Cross-sections/transects: same thing as each other, despite what some
textbooks say about cross-sections being 3D. Transects are usually
straight, cross-sections have peaks and ridges

Aspect: direction slope is going down

Relief: referring to whether the land is hilly, flat, steep, etc.

Large scale maps: closer and with more detail

Small scale maps: further away and with more features.

Section A of test: Part 1- 15 multiple choice questions

Section B: Extended response on australian communties using specific
