Introduction to Answer Key
TO THE TEACHER
This Answer Key includes all of the exercise problem sets found in the Physical Geography
Laboratory Manual 12th edition by Darrel Hess, that accompanies the textbook McKnight’s
Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation, 12th edition, by Darrel Hess. However, only the
problem set pages themselves are included in this Answer Key—the page numbers match those in
the Lab Manual, so there are gaps in the page number sequence. The answers provided are those
that I have written in my copy of the Lab Manual. These answers are offered as a guide only—in
some cases other answers may also be correct.
New To The 12th Edition Lab Manual: This new edition of the Lab Manual retains all of the
exercises found in the previous edition, along with new exercises on Groundwater (Exercise 25)
and Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing by Ryan Jensen (Exercise 8; replacing
the previous exercise on GIS). In addition, many exercises and problem sets underwent major
revisions, including Landscape Analysis with Google Earth™ and The National Map (Exercise 7),
Doppler Weather Radar (Exercise 21), Weather Variability and Climate Change (Exercise 24),
Biomes and Ecological Land Units (Exercise 26), Aerial Photographs and Stereograms (Exercise
32), Mass Wasting (Exercise 38), and Flood Recurrence Intervals (Exercise 43).
At the suggestion of instructors, the order of exercises has been adjusted slightly, grouping
the exercises on topographic map and aerial photograph interpretation in the middle of the Lab
Manual, just before the sections on geomorphology where these skills are called for.
In addition to the 16 pages of color topographic maps included in previous editions of the
Lab Manual, 16 additional pages of color maps and images are now included. Many topographic
maps that were “grayscale” in the previous edition are now in color, along with additional color
aerial imagery.
QR Codes and Lab Manual Internet Site: The QR (Quick Response) codes that accompany
many exercises give students access to Lab Manual Internet content wherever they can use a
smartphone or other mobile device. By scanning the QR codes, students can view color maps,
satellite movie loops, color photographs, and Google Earth™ “videos” needed to complete nearly
all of the Internet-based problems in the Lab Manual. The Lab Manual Web site
(www.MasteringGeography.com) also provides all of the content accessed with the QR codes,
along with KMZ files for the problems using Google Earth™.
The URLs of the recommended Web sites are provided for each Internet exercise, but
because the Internet changes over time, the URLs printed in the Lab Manual may become out of
date or better sites might become available in the future. Feel free to recommend different, or
additional, Internet sites to your students.
