(for those of you who couldn't attend today's field trip)
The link below includes a topo map of Camelback Mountain. Get out your ruler to estimate horizontal (i.e. non vertical) distances, and your protractor to estimate angles.
1) estimate the magnitude and direction of the gradient vector at the red "x"s, direction in degrees from the right hand x-axis.
2) locate the local max's (hint: there are a lot of them) on the map, as well as the saddle points.
I'll be asking questions on the Monday after Spring Break.
Worksheet
PS: those who went on the field trip can also benefit from this work sheet.
