Briefly contrast the general topography in the northern third of the map, with the topography in the southern two-thirds of the map. What might explain these differences?
The following questions are based on Map T-9, the “Park City, Kentucky” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 10 feet) and Figure 44-3, a stereogram of the same area (37°05'03"N, 86°05'27"W). The boundary of Mammoth Cave National Park is just beyond the northern margin of the map. The surface shown in the southern two-thirds of the map is predominantly limestone, whereas in much of the northern third, a layer of sandstone caps the limestone.
What will be an ideal response?
Very irregular with many sinkholes in the south; higher relief with fewer sinkholes in the north. Different exposed surface rock.
