there are several smal ponds about a1/2 mile east of pellett road, just north of shoemaker road.explain how you can tell whether the streams to the north of each pond are flowing into ()southward) or out of (northward)the ponds.
You need to determine the source of these streams. In which direction is the ground higher than the ponds?
i didn't get the question asa well as you can u explain agian plz.....
If this is a contour map, you can tell the direction the stream flows by determining whether it's going downhill or uphill. If the pond is lower than the area to the north, then the streams are flowing into the pond. If the pond is higher than the area to the north, then the stream is flowing out of the pond.
To determine the flow direction of the streams in relation to the ponds, you can follow these steps:
1. Find a topographic map or access an online mapping tool that provides detailed information about the area. Topographic maps show elevations and water bodies, which can help in understanding the flow direction of streams.
2. Identify the elevation of the ponds and the streams. Streams generally flow from areas of higher elevation to lower elevation, so understanding the elevation changes is crucial.
3. Start by locating the ponds described as being half a mile east of Pellett Road, just north of Shoemaker Road. Take note of their elevations.
4. Look for the streams adjacent to each pond. Start with the northeastern corner of the pond and trace any streams in that direction.
5. Examine the elevation of the streams. If the stream's elevation decreases as it moves away from the pond, it indicates that the stream is flowing out of the pond (northward). However, if the stream's elevation increases as it moves away from the pond, it suggests that the stream is flowing into the pond (southward).
6. Repeat the process for all the ponds mentioned in the area.
By analyzing the elevation changes of the streams relative to the ponds, you can determine the flow direction of the streams. Remember to use a topographic map or online mapping tool to visualize the elevation and water bodies accurately.
