2. Once you have created your pie graph, apply the skills you have developed in this SkillBuilder to answer the following questions. a. What is the most common source when producing electricity? b. Are renewables or non-renewables the main source of electricity? c. Name a renewable that is part of the ‘other’ category. d. In Iceland, 70 per cent of all electricity is produced from hydro power and 30 per cent from geothermal power. Is this similar to or different from the world trend? e. Research the sources of energy production for another country. Compare your results to Australia and Iceland. Checklist I have: • provided a clear title and source • plotted the data accurately and labelled each segment • included the percentages • shown largest to smallest clockwise from 12 o’clock, with ‘other’ last.
LESSON 8.6 SkillBuilder: Using topographic maps
LEARNING INTENTION By the end of this SkillBuilder you should be able to use a topographic map.
8.6.1 Tell me What are topographic maps?
Topographic maps are more than just contour maps showing the height and shape of the land. They also show features of the natural environment, such as forests and lakes, and features of human environments, such as roads and settlements (places where a community of people live).
