Figure 2.8: Contour Relief Feature Activity.
QUESTION: Print or copy Figure 2.8 and open it in a program that
allows you to draw on it. Observing the patterns on the map
(Figure 2.8), you see that there are three areas on the map where
all the contours make a 'V' shape. When contours take this shape,
the tip of the 'V' points upstream. Use a blue colored pencil to
draw in each of the three rivers, and include arrows showing which
way the water is flowing. Which direction are the rivers flowing?
