Question

Using the contour lines on this map, which area along the red line is
steeper A to B or B to C?
a. B to C because (1000 ft - 780 ft) contours are further apart.
b. A to B because (1000 ft - 780 ft) contours are closer together

What is the gradient ft/ft from A to B on this map?
a. (1000 ft - 900 ft / 1500) = .067
b. (1000 ft - 880 ft / 1500) = .08
c. (1000 ft - 780 ft / 1000) = .22

What is the gradient from B to C on this map?
a. (1000 ft - 900 ft / 5000) = .02
b. (1000 ft - 880 ft / 5000) = .024
c. (1000 ft - 780 ft / 1000) = 44.22 

Drumlins can be used to determine the direction of movement in the
glacier with the glacier moving toward the shallower side of the structure. Using
your previous answers for this map, what direction was the glacier traveling?
Note: unless indicated otherwise, assume that North is up (towards the top of
the map).
a. North b. South c. East d. West
