You should be able to:

· Determine the contour interval of a topographic map;
· identify high and low points on a topographic map and calculate relief;
· calculate the gradient of a slope from a topographic map;
· convert one map scale to another (verbal scales, fractional scales, ratio scales and bar scales);
· calculate the compass bearing of a linear feature on a map;
· find the strike and dip of tilted rock layers, and represent that information on a map using proper symbols;
· recognize whether a fold is a downward fold (syncline or basin) or upward fold (anticline or dome) from the patterns of rocks expressed on geologic maps (see pages 175-176 in lab manual);
· sketch how blocks of rock move relative to each other along different kinds of faults (p. 173 Lab Manual);
· explain which kind of stress produces which type of fault;
· explain the difference between a strike-slip fault and a dip-slip fault.
