IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS DEFINITIONS FROM TOPO MAPS REPRESENTATIVE FRACTION (RF): It is the ratio between the distances on the map to its corresponding distance on actual ground. The RF on this map is 1:50‚000. 2. SCALE : Scale is the ratio between the distance of any two points on the map and the actual distance of the same points on the ground. The scale of the given map extract is 2 cm: 1 km or 1:50‚000. 3. CONTOUR: Contours are imaginary lines drawn on maps‚ joining all places with

One of the greatest engineering achievements of ancient times is a water tunnel‚ 1‚036 meters (4‚000 feet) long‚ excavated through a mountain on the Greek island of Samos in the sixth century B.C. It was dug through solid limestone by two separate teams advancing in a straight line from both ends‚ using only picks‚ hammers‚ and chisels. This was a prodigious feat of manual labor. The intellectual feat of determining the direction of tunneling was equally impressive. How did they do this

surface of Mars is still an extremely controversial topic. This project aims to explore the current evidence we have for liquid water in the past and present by inspecting the geomorphological evidence and evaluate the role it plays in shaping Mars’ topography. From terrestrial analogs‚ we can begin to explain the processes that occur on Mars. Due to the similarities of outflow channels‚ valley network and gullies to its terrestrial counterparts‚ we have suspected that these landforms are carved by water
