Реферат: Algonquin Park Essay Research Paper CHAPTER ONETRIP

? Place a stick or branch in the ground at a level spot. Mark the shadow tip with a stone.

? Wait 10-20 minutes until shadow tip moves a few centimeters. Mark the new position of the shadow tip with a stone.

? Draw a straight line through the two marks to obtain an appropriate east-west line (the sun rises is the east and sets in the west- the shadow moves in opposite direction).

? Draw a line at right angles to the east-west line to get an approximate north-south line.

? Inclining the stick does not impair the accuracy of the shadow tip method, thus you can use it on sloping ground.

(Darman, 1996)

Index 2.2: Determining Direction with a Watch:

? Point hour hands towards the sun.

? A south line can be found midway between the hour hand and 1200 hours. If in doubt as to which end of the line is north always remember that the sun is in the east before noon and in the west in the afternoon.
