Figure 20.6 K?lauea Crater, HI, Topographic Map 1: from the 3700-ft. contour label south of the U?kahuna Bluff label to the Byron Ledge label on the east side of the crater.
Use the following topographic maps and a ruler (inches or cm) to measure the map distance between the points indicated. Noting the RF scales posted on each map, calculate the approximate ground distance (miles or kilometers). Keep in mind that there are 63,360 inches in a mile: 12 in./ft * 5280 ft/ mile. Compare results with the graphic scale. What will be an ideal response?
