Lab #5: Change in Elevation over Distance Lab

This lab involved us picking a place and checking the change in elevation over 12 miles of it. I chose Evansville, IL. 

Here is an image of where I measured: 

Here is a chart of my findings:

Here is a graph showing the data in the table above:




To achieve this, I :
  1. Used the ruler tool to create a straight line, 12 miles across on Google Maps
  2. Used the ruler tool to measure 1-mile increments the length of the line
  3. at each increment, I recorded the elevation at that point on the line. 
  4. I put these findings on a table and then created a graph.
