  1. Transects YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS

  2. Name the physical and natural features Once a transect is drawn , we can make generalisations about features such as landforms, vegetation, soils, transport settlement and agricultural land use.

  3. Transects are easily made from topographic maps. Topographic maps show a bird’s eye view of features on the ground and their heights.

  4. Which of the following would most likely represent the transect from Point D to Point B? Transects are used to show the relationship between different features of the physical and human environments along a cross-section or between two points-in this case points D to B

  5. Activity-teacher demonstrates • Draw a transect of Guzzleville between Point A and the Observation Tower. • Draw a straight line between Point A and the Observation Tower. • Refer to your key first. • Use a key in the space provided.

  6. ACTIVITY CROSS SECTIONS

  7. Questions • WHAT IS THE LANDFORM IN THE BAKER’S RIDGE AREA • What type of vegetation is found around Mt Connor • What is the main land-use in the Slingshot creek area? • What type of landform is most suitable for dairy farming? • Give reasons why the Mt Connor area is not suitable for crop growing?

  8. Complete a transect for the Narrabeen lakes area. What observations can you make about land-use in the area? Don’t forget to look at your topographic key.
