Graphing Elevation Changes Across Distance


I began by creating and measuring out a 12 mile long line through the city of Macon. The measured out path is seen in red in the image above. I recorded the elevation for every 2 miles of the path to see how the elevation is affected in change of the distance. The recorded information is seen in a graph below.















A scatterplot was created to see how the elevation changed over the distance. As seen below, the elevation in Macon fluctuated throughout the whole 12 miles of the path and was highly inconsistent.
