maps and globes are read and interpreted, including location by latitude and longitude;
Scale relates to actual distance.
Topographic maps and satellite imagery are two-dimensional models that provide information defining three-dimensional landforms. They contain extensive information related to geographic as well as human structures and changes to the land surface, and are useful in understanding geologic processes.
Grid systems of latitude and longitude are used to define locations and directions on maps, globes, and charts.
interpret landforms, water features, map scale, horizontal distance between points, elevation and elevation changes, latitude and longitude, human-made structures and other pertinent features on 7.5 minute quadrangles on topographic maps.
construct profiles from topographic contours.
use latitude and longitude down to minutes, with correct north-south and east-west designations, to locate points on a map.
label on a map the physiographic provinces of Virginia.
locate the major Virginia watershed systems on a map (Chesapeake Bay, Gulf of Mexico, and North Carolina sounds).
