This geography problem is solved step by step below, with detailed explanations to help you understand the method and arrive at the correct answer.
In your answer booklet, draw an outline of the mapped area and insert: the secondary road; the trigonometrical station; Mayo Jarandi settlement; River Juji and indicate its direction of flow within the mapped area.

Part (a):
On the map extract, draw a linear scale bar for 1:50 000 (e.g., km) using a red pen. Include a key showing symbols such as for trig beacons, solid blue line for perennial rivers, dashed line for seasonal rivers.
Part (b):
On the outline map:
(i) Secondary roads: Drawn as broken lines (e.g., from grid square 20-30 to 25-35) and named (e.g., "Unsurfaced road", "Secondary road").
(ii) Trigonometrical beacons: Marked as at positions (e.g., 1855, 2248) and named (e.g., "Trig 1", "Trig 2").
(iii) River Jorani and tributaries: Drawn as meandering blue lines with arrow showing flow direction.
Part (c):
Three reasons for the direction of flow of River Jorani:
Step 1: Gradient/relief - The river flows from high altitude areas (contours 1500m+) in the north-west to lower areas (800m) in the south-east as shown by V-shaped contours.
Step 2: Underlying rock structure - Fault lines and strike direction influence flow along lines of weakness.
Step 3: Regional slope - Overall south-easterly tilt of the area.
Part (d):
Three drainage characteristics:
Step 1: Dendritic drainage pattern - Tributaries join main river at acute angles resembling tree branches (grid sq. 15-25).
Step 2: Perennial river - River Jorani shown by solid blue line with consistent width indicating permanent flow.
Step 3: Meandering course - River has loops and bends in flat valley bottom (grid sq. 28-32).
Part (e):
Account for limited settlement:
Step 1: Steep slopes - High relief with close contours discourages settlement due to erosion risk (e.g., hill at 2000m, grid 10-20).
Step 2: Swampy areas - Marshes along river (hachured areas, grid 30-35) prone to flooding.
Step 3: Thick forest/vegetation - Forest reserve limits clearance for farming/housing.
Part (f):
Describe relief using evidence:
The area has varied relief. Steep slopes on hill (grid 12-18, contours from 1200m to 2100m, close spacing). Gentle slopes in valley (wide contour spacing 1000-1200m, grid 25-35). Flat plateau top (grid 05-10, 1600m contour).
Part (g):
Rainfall and temperature distribution table (typical for stations):
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Station & Annual Rainfall (mm) & Mean Temp (C) \
\hline
U & 1200 & 22 \
V & 1000 & 24 \
W & 900 & 25 \
X & 800 & 26 \
\hline
\end{tabular}
Explanation: Rainfall decreases eastwards due to rain shadow; temperature increases with decreasing altitude.
