12. Study the photograph of a coastal landform.

Figure for Q12 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated figure for Q12.

Describe two visible features of the landform. [2]

Section C: Data Analysis and Evaluation (Questions 13–20) [24 marks]

13. The table below shows survey responses for a park (n=50):

Response	SA	A	D	SD
Count	20	15	10	5

Using weights SA=+2, A=+1, D=−1, SD=−2, calculate the net score. [2]

14. For the study in Q13, evaluate whether the data collection is reliable. [4]

15. A graph shows temperature rise from 1900 to 2020. State two features of the graph you would check to interpret the trend. [2]

16. Students collected noise level data (dB) at 3 sites at 2 times. Suggest how to show this on one graph. [3]

17. The figure below is a pie chart of land use.

Chart for Q17 (OLEVEL Geography)

Generated chart for Q17.

State the largest land use category. [1]

18. From Q17-fig1, calculate the angle of the Green sector in degrees. [2]

19. A fieldwork group measured river depth at 10 points. Explain how they could present the data to show variation along the channel. [3]

20. Evaluate the usefulness of using a line graph to show annual rainfall across 12 months for 5 cities. [4]

Answers

TuitionGoWhere Exam Practice (AI) - Geography O-Level Practice Paper Answer Key (Version 5)

Subject: Geography
Level: O-Level
Topic: Map, Graph & Data Skills
Total Marks: 60

Section A: Graph and Data Representation

Q1 [3 marks]

Suggested answer: Use a line graph with months (Jan–Jun) on the x-axis and rainfall (mm) on the y-axis; plot 4 lines (one per station) with a legend identifying Woodlands, Tampines, Jurong, Bedok. (1 mark for graph type, 1 mark for axes/units, 1 mark for overlay/legend)
Teaching note: Continuous data over time for multiple sites is best as overlaid line graphs to compare trends. Avoid separate graphs (common trap).

Q2 [2 marks]

Graph: Bar chart. Reason: Data are categorical (days) and show counts; bar chart compares discrete values clearly. (1+1)
Teaching note: Days are categories, not continuous time series needing line.

Q3 [2 marks]

X-axis: Time (hours from 6am to 6pm); Y-axis: Temperature (°C). (1 each)
Teaching note: Line graph needs independent variable (time) on x, dependent (temp) on y.

Q4 [2 marks]

Assign weights (e.g., SA=+2, A=+1, D=−1, SD=−2), multiply count by weight per category, sum for net score per amenity. (1 method, 1 weighting)
Teaching note: Net score = Σ(weight×frequency). Template 3.

Q5 [3 marks]

Overlaid line graph or grouped bar chart; line graph allows trend comparison across sites over time if time-based, or bar for discrete. (1 type, 2 justification/labelling)
Answer: Use a line graph with wind speed on y, time/site on x, legend for 3 sites.

Q6 [2 marks]

Bar chart to compare magnitudes; label y-axis "Magnitude", x-axis "Town". (1+1)

Section B: Map and Photograph Interpretation

Q7 [1 mark]

From contour pattern and sea position, river flows from inland (higher contour) east to coast (lower). Answer: Eastward / to the east.
Based on Q7-fig1: river from 40 m contour to sea, town west.

Q8 [2 marks]

East of town: contours 10–40 m show rising relief inland; steep/moderate slope; hill up to 40 m. (1 description, 1 inference)
From map: contours close = steeper.

Q9 [1 mark]

July (170 thousand). From Q9-fig1 highest bar.

Q10 [2 marks]

Jan=100, Jul=170. % increase = (170−100)/100 ×100 = 70%. (1 formula, 1 answer)
Working: (70/100)*100 = 70%.

Q11 [2 marks]

Scale 1:25 000 → 8 cm map = 8×25 000 = 200 000 cm = 2 km. (1 calc, 1 unit)
200 000 cm / 100 000 = 2 km.

Q12 [2 marks]

Flat sandy beach; gentle slope to sea; waves at shoreline. (1 each)
From Q12-fig1.

Section C: Data Analysis and Evaluation

Q13 [2 marks]

Net = (20×2)+(15×1)+(10×−1)+(5×−2) = 40+15−10−10 = 35. (1 working, 1 answer)

Q14 [4 marks]

Position: Partially reliable (1).
Evidence: n=50 is moderate; used clear Likert scale (1).
Explanation: Weighted scoring reduces bias; but self-report may have subjectivity (1).
Qualification: While sample adequate, single site limits representativeness (1).
Template 2 structure.

Q15 [2 marks]

Axis labels and units; trend line / overall direction; scale. (1+1)

Q16 [3 marks]

Grouped bar chart: x-axis sites, bars for time 1 and time 2, legend. Or clustered line. (1 type, 2 labelling)
Allows comparison of noise across sites and times.

Q17 [1 mark]

Residential (45%). From Q17-fig1.

Q18 [2 marks]

Green 25% → angle = 25% × 360° = 90°. (1 calc, 1 answer)
0.25×360 = 90°.

Q19 [3 marks]

Line graph: x=distance along channel, y=depth; plot 10 points. (1 type, 2 labels/points)
Shows variation pattern.

Q20 [4 marks]

Useful: compares 5 cities' monthly trends; identifies wet/dry months (2).
Limit: clutter if too many lines; need legend/clear colour (1).
Conclusion: effective with proper labelling (1).
Marking: 2 for strengths, 1 weakness, 1 judgement.
