Physical Geography, A Landscape Approach, Laboratory Manual

This manual is designed to be self-contained, making it useful for readers without access to teaching collections of maps, satellite images and stereo aerial photographs. Several of the exercises will be enhanced if users have access to simple lens stereoscopes and sling psychrometers. Chapter exercises include metric conversion, location, time, map scale, map projections, isolines, Earth-Sun relations, solar angle, insolation, temperature patterns, air pressure, wind, humidity, adiabatic processes, stability, midlatitude cyclones, weather satellite images, hurricanes, climate classification, topographic profiles, U.S. public land survey system, stereo aerial photographs, plate tectonics, volcanoes, faulting, drainage basins, floodplains, sand dunes, continental glaciation, and coastal landforms. For individuals conducting experiments to enhance their interest in and understanding of physical geography.
