Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
To measure:
The angle ABD using a protractor and drawing a line parallel to the equator passing through Point D and label the line with its proper latitude.
Introduction:
The location of a point on Earth can be geometrically provided by latitude and longitudes. The latitudes correspond to the horizontal lines, and the longitudes correspond to the vertical lines.

As a result, some of this region has recently been uplifted and exhibits characteristics of an emergent coastline. On the other hand, because of the general rise in sea level over the past several thousand years, other areas exhibit features associated with submergent coastlines. Refer to this topographic map to complete the following. 1. What type of shoreline feature is Drakes Estero (located near the center of the map)? 2. Point Reyes, located in the bottom-left corner of the map, is a headland undergoing severe wave erosion. What type of feature is Chimney Rock, located off the shore of Point Reyes? 3.

- Activity 12.3: Wave Refraction Pgs 202-203Figure 12.2 is a map view of a headland along a coastline. The water depths are shown by blue contour lines. As you complete the following questions, assume that waves with a wavelength of 60 feet are approaching the shoreline from the bottom left of the figure. 1. At approximately what water depth-10, 20, 30, or 40 feet-will the approaching waves begin to touch bottom and slow down? (Hint: Recall that this occurs when the water depth is one-half the wavelength.) 2. Using the wave shown in Figure 12.2 as a starting point, sketch a series of lines to illustrate the wave refraction that will occur as the wave approaches the shore by following these steps:Step 1: Mark the position on the 30-foot contour line where the wave front will first touch bottom.Step 2: Knowing that the section of the wave that touches bottom will slow down first, sketch the shape of the wave front when it reaches the 20-foot contour line.Step 3: Using the same…arrow_forwardCan trace and tell me how they did itarrow_forwardCan someone show me how they would trace thisarrow_forward
