GEOGRAPHY 



Friday 3 .45-5 .45 p. m . 



A teacher's certificate covering the laboratory instruction must be presented at the 

 time of the examination. 



No extra credit will be given for more than the required number of questions. 



GROUP A. THE EARTH AS A GLOBE 

 Answer one question from this group 



1. Why does the Mercator map not have a scale of miles ? A United States 



topographic map includes the same number of minutes of latitude and of 

 longitude. Why is it neither square nor rectangular ? 



2. Explain two ways in which true north may be determined. How, in the 



absence of a time piece, may local tune be determined ? 



GROUP B. THE OCEAN 

 Answer on& question from this group 



3. Why is the tidal range large in the Bay of Fundy, and small in the Mediter- 



ranean Sea? Apply this explanation in accounting for the difference of 

 tidal range at the two ends of the Panama Canal. 



4. If a part of a continental shelf were raised above sea level, what would 



be the form of the resulting shoreline? What would be its form if the 

 coastal lands were partly submerged ? Show the economic importance of 

 such changes by illustrations from the coast lines of the United States. 



GROUP C. THE ATMOSPHERE 

 Answer two questions from this group 



5. Some portions of the trade wind belt are rainy, others desert. Give instances 



of each and account for the difference. 



6. Make a sketch map of a low-pressure area, drawing lines of equal pressure 



and equal temperature, showing rainfall conditions, and, by means of 

 arrows, the wind directions. How does the weather of the eastern and 

 central United States change as cyclonic and anti-cyclonic conditions pass 

 over it ? 



7. How and why does the variation in temperature of the land differ from that 



of the water? Give specific instances of the climatic influence of this 

 difference.
