1) The two type of grid systems that are shown are: Latitude and Longitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). Pertaining to Latitude and Longitude, Whitcomb hill is roughly located at: 43° 51’ N. Lat and 72° 20’ W Long. Regarding the UTM system, Whitcomb hill is in Zone 18, 4859 W, 7130950 N.
2) The US state that this map represents is Vermont.
3) The grid system that is not represented on Map 1 is the US Public Land Survey. It doesn’t appear to be represented because around the edges of the map there are no indicators of what Township or Range it is located in and each square does not have a designated section.
4) It appears that Whitcomb hill is taller because the contour lines near Richardson Hill spread away from it, which means it’s more flat than it is …show more content…
Starting at the beginning when Asner was talking about the hunting patterns of the lions and how they were able to disprove the belief that only the lionesses hunted. In fact the male lions hunted in tightly packed vegetation whereas the females hunted in the open plain. Again when he was explaining just how much information they got from flying above the rainforest; they could tell what type of trees were growing, if they had vines growing on them, and they could see individual branches and leaves.
8) The first question that Greg is trying to answer is: How do we manage our carbon reserves in tropical forests? It’s important that this question is answered because even though this question is specific to tropical forests, I think that the solution can be applied to other areas as well, not just tropical forests. Especially when that solution will help reduce any further global warming. The question can started to be answered by using carbon mapping and trying to keep the carbon in the forest. Basically need a “high tech accounting system,” to know where the carbon is exactly so that when they stop deforestation “they know what they’re
