Chapter 12 Exercise:
Contours Exercise

The following is information that can be used for the Contours exercise, found on page 171 of the book, Planning and Community Development, (Tyler and Ward, 2011).

This is a relatively easy exercise that is largely self-explanatory. Students should be able to decipher the questions and provide straightforward answers.

An online web site that has an excellent visual explanation of reading contours is "Exploring Earth," sponsored by Houghton Mifflin Company.
