Answer the following Volcanoes questions.
1. Calculate the relief for each volcano by subtracting the lower elevation on the transect line from the higher elevation. Enter the relief into Table 20.1.
2. Calculate the length along each transect between the contour lines you used to measure the relief, using the scale bar. You can also calculate the length of each transect by measuring the transect with a ruler and using the written scale to convert it to feet. Enter the length into Table 20.1.
3. Calculate the slope in percentage by dividing the relief by the length. Enter the slope into Table 20.1.
