Locate the study areas for this exercise a. Using the marking tools in Google Earth, locate the geographic coordinates of the approximate center of the areas represented in these maps (use the marker tool in Google Earth, or calculate them following the method illustrated in Chapter 5 of this workbook). Soda Canyon: LAT ___________ LONG ______ Cross-L Ranch: LAT _______ LONG _____ Alps Mesa: LAT _____ LONG _____ Merrick Butte: LAT ______ LONG _________ b. How far apart are these sites from each other? (estimate the distances in Km) c. What type of drainage do you see for each? Soda Canyon _____ Cross-L Ranch ____ Alps Mesa ________ Merrick Butte _______

Explanation / Answer

1)Soda canyon-Lat=38.3574degree N

Long=122.18degree W

Cross-L Ranch-Lat=36.913degrees N

Long=103.64degrees W

Alps mesa-Lat=36.92degrees N

Long=103.8911degrees W

Merrick Butte-Lat=36.98degree N

Long=110.08degree W

2)The distances between each place will considerably be small as all the places have more or less tha same latitude and longitude.

Distance between soda canyon and cross L ranch can be estimated using latitude and longitude of the places.

Distance between soda canyon and cross L ranch=1637km

Distance between cross L ranch and alps mesa=22km

Distance between alps mesa and merick butte=550km
