The following questions are based on Map T-7, the “Canyonlands National Park, Utah” topographic map (scale 1:62,500; contour interval 80 feet), Figures 32-3 and 42-2, stereograms of this region, and Figure 42-1a, an oblique aerial photograph of this area. The map, stereograms, and photograph show the deeply entrenched meanders of the Green River north of Canyonlands National Park, Utah (38°33'40"N, 110°03'16"W). What will be an ideal response?
