Remote Sensing Worksheet
Part 1: Sample list of land features and their descriptions:
Red areas = forest ( Signal Mountains / Mogollon Rim)
Grid pattern of cyan (bluish) lines = city of Phoenix / Tucson
Black lines = rivers (Salt River / Little Colorado River / Gila River)
Red square patterns = Crops of vegetation on a farm
River drainage pattern / erosion pattern = Grand Canyon
Crater like hole = Meteor Crater
Red areas following a black line = vegetation aside a river (L.Colorado
River)
Red square pattern along a black line = farm irrigation along a river
(Gila River)
Dark Spots (like freckles) = Hopi Buttes
Dark areas in white sand areas = exposed rock outcrops in the desert
Part 2
Scale of Adventure Map: 1 cm = 25 km
From Roosevelt Lake to Phoenix: ~2.5 cm = 62.5 km
From Phoenix to Grand Canyon (near Kaibab Plateau): ~9.5 cm = 237.5
km
From Grand Canyon to Mogollon Rim (near White Mountains): 12 cm = 300
km
From Mogollon Rim to Sonoran Desert: ~14 cm = 350 km
From Sonoran Desert to Chiricuahua Mountains: ~14 cm = 350 km
Total distance traveled: 52 cm = 1300 km
Biodiversity Worksheet
1. Echo is a Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus)
2. Places where Echo food: Street Lights of Phoenix, Colorado
River in the Grand Canyon, Pine Forest of the Mogollon Rim, Organ Pipe
Cactus National Park.
3. Animals in the Sonoran Desert
2 Roadrunners, 3 Javalinas, 1 Raccoon, 1 Gila Monster, 1 Gila Monster,
1 long-nosed snake, 1Gila Woodpecker
4. Scale of Adventure Map: 1 cm = 25 km
Echo eats 2700 bugs per day: 15(90) = 1350 * 2 = 2700 bugs
Echo eats 13,500 bugs in 5 days: 2700 * 5 = 13,500 bugs
It will take Echo about 3.5 days to fly from Roosevelt Lake to Phoenix.
He will eat about 9450 bugs during his trip. (3.5 * 2700) = 9450
Bonus Question: About 175,500 (see above for distance calculations)
