Doppler Radar

The satillite image a above is an example of a doppler radar, which gets its name from the "Doppler Effect". The Doppler Effect works in a fairly simple way. Satillites are postioned in specific places and send out waves which retrieve the sound of hail, precipitaion, or even dust. The time it takes for the signals that were sent by the satillite to return determain if the weather is moving toward that region or away from it. This is the most reliable tool when it comes to planning for weather.

Topographic Map

Topographs are maps that indicate the elevation features of a specific region. Qualitive contrasts are used to illustrate the shape and texture and the picture shown above is an arial shot of the Mountains in Utah. With qualitive contrasts, a person that views this map can clearly see the elevation changes from the gray shaded areas.
