Lab 6

I chose to map the topology of the Hawaiian Islands Lanai, Molokai, and Maui. I believe these Hawaiian Islands are very interesting to look at in terms of topology because they are volcanic and mountainous, thus vary completely from the surrounding sea-level topographic characteristics of the Pacific Ocean. In terms of decimal degree coordinates, this group of islands is located at (.00028, .00028). Looking at latitude and longitude, the Hawaiian Islands of Lanai, Molokai and Maui are located solely in the Northern and Western Hemispheres in UTM zone 4N. Their locations range from 21.18 degrees to 20.76 degrees in the North to -157.06 to -156.5 degrees in the West. These topographic maps use the spatial references of GCS_North_American_1983 as well as the North American Datum of 1983.
