Lab #5: Change In Elevation Over Distance Lab

For this lab, we were supposed to pick a city and measure up to 12 miles and make a graph and table of measurements of the change of elevation over the distance.

I picked Orlando, Florida and this is my Google Earth image of where I chose to measure (the line is in yellow)

This is chart of data I took from those 12 miles off the yellow 


This is the graph I made from the table above

How I created all this:

  • First, I created a line in Orlando, FL and made it yellow using the line tool in Google Earth
  • Next, I measured out 12 miles on the line and recorded their elevation (in feet) and recorded that data into a chart
  • Next, I made a table in Excel using the data from my table and created a scatter plot graph 
  • Finally, I took a screenshot of both the table and graph, and saved the Google Earth image and uploaded all of it to here.
