The following problems are based on Map T-1 and Map T-2. Both of these maps have a scale of 1:250,000. Using the graph at the right, construct topographic profiles between the appropriate lettered points. Vertical exaggeration of topographic profiles is approximately 2x (an explanation of vertical exaggeration is found in Exercise 30).
1. Construct a topographic profile of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawai‘i (Map T-1) from Point A to Point B. Except for the area around the summit, you only need to plot index contours.
2. Construct a topographic profile of Mount Vsevidof (Map T-2) from Point C to Point D. Except for the area around the summit and around the base, you only need to plot index contours.
