One useful data point that can be easily calculated from a topographic map is gradient. Gradient is defined as the difference between the vertical elevation divided by the horizontal distance across a map. It can also be represented as a slope calculation= Rise/Run. In geology, we can use this to find out how steep a hiking trail is, or how sharp a decline a stream may flowing (and that's one factor we can use to calculate its velocity and rate of discharge!) 58 Review 56 Prey Stream 52 I U 53 57 54 Vertical 53 View 50 51 aA ~ | ¦ ✓ A✓ | E✓ 52 Assuming due North is at the top of this map, in which direction is Prey Stream flowing? 50 References 50 50 49 47 48 Steep 48 47 (CUNY Brooklyn College) 46 48 a 46 Raptor Lake GRADIENT Very Steep 5280"/mile elevation 45 ft 46 23% 0 2500 mile Moderate 1000%/mile Gentle Flat 400 mile 0'/mile
