After my group finished gluing our potato mountains onto our shoebox, we covered the whole interior of the shoebox with plaster in order to make it look more practical and applicable to real life like a mountain range. Furthermore, the plaster enabled the potato mountain range to become more consistent in its slope and generated unevenness that more accurately symbolizes or represents a mountain range.
After finishing plastering the interior of our shoebox, we then sealed the shoebox with tape and swapped it with another group. We then got skewers and labeled the skewers with a black marker on intervals of 1 cm each. Moreover, we used the skewer to enable us to calculate the depth or deepness of the box. Likewise, this is very alike to measuring the altitude or elevation of the landforms or mountain ranges with a satellite.
When electromagnetic waves are released or discharges, it takes a period of time for the electromagnetic waves to come back to the satellite in which it gives an understandably accurate approximation of the satellite's distance to the surface. Furthermore, we made a data chart of the distances on a piece of line paper and later converted onto excel and generated a 3-dimensional portrayal of the potato mountains we got when we swapped with another group.
This screenshot represents another group's shoebox. It shows an approximate estimation of the potato mountain's shape or mountain range we received. The 3-D picture we generated is very similar to the topographical worksheets we did in which each different color in the 3-D representation represents a specific altitude of the mountain range.
