Teacher's Answer Key
|
1. Can the town
of In Gall be reached by truck? Do you need to pass through any other
towns? 2. What is the
area around In Gall like? Where is the rock covered by sand or trees?
(HINT: Describe your answer using the compass directions by saying
“North of In Gall there are…”. See the compass below the maps.) 3. Determine the
ages and types of the rocks by locating the rock age symbols (T, C,
J, etc.) and the rock type symbols (t, m, v) in the map key. Do you think it
is possible to find dinosaurs of Triassic age in this area? 4. You need to
know where to search for Cretaceous dinosaurs. Are there rocks of Cretaceous
age? If so, are any of
these Cretaceous rocks terrestrial (formed on land)? Color in this rock area on the geologic map with your pencil. 5.If terrestrial
Cretaceous rocks exist in the map area, are any exposed at the surface?
(HINT: Look at the geographic map for areas no covered by dunes) 5. If you were
camping in In Gall, where would you take your team to search for new
Cretaceous dinosaurs? (HINT: You must give a direction from In Gall,
using the compass, and a distance from In Gall, using the distance scale
under the map)
