TEST III. TRACING AND PLOTTING

Directions: With the given Map of the Philippines and vicinity drawn on the grids, follow the different
procedures per item. (5 points each x 2 items = 10 points)

1. Use the latitude and longitude (lat-long) in the table below to track the location of the Tropical
Storm Sendong. Download the image of the Philippine map and open the image to a photo editor
(i.e. PAINT ). Plot each lat-long pair on the map by using a red-inked dot and connect the dots
from the first coordinate to the last. Save the file and upload the picture on the answer box with
the correct dots of coordinates.
