Q2. [1] 237524 (acceptable range 237523–237525)
Teaching note: 4-figure = 2352. Subdivide: 7 tenths east = 7, 4 tenths north = 4 → 237524.

Q3. [1] 10 m
Teaching note: Contour interval = difference between adjacent labelled contours = 110 − 100 = 10 m.

Q4. [2] 157° (accept 155°–160°)
Working: Temple (2153) to Bridge (2351): delta east = +2, delta south = −2. Bearing measured clockwise from north = 180° − 23° = 157°. Mark: 1 for direction, 1 for value.

Q5. [2] 1.5 km
Working: Map distance = 3 cm. Scale 1:50,000 → 3 cm × 50,000 = 150,000 cm = 1.5 km. Mark: 1 for 3 cm measured, 1 for conversion.

Q6. [2] Any two: river, lake, reservoir, swamp, canal (1 mark each)
Teaching note: Symbols from legend showing water bodies.

Q7. [3] Relief is hilly / convex; contours concentric and increasing inward; spot height 132 m shows highest point.

Section B: Graph & Data (21 marks)

Q8. [1] Jupiter
Teaching note: Table shows Jupiter has 95 moons, highest.

Q9. [3] No clear direct relationship; Mercury closest has small diameter (4,879 km), Jupiter farthest has largest (139,820 km), but Venus (108 m km) larger than Mercury yet Earth larger than Venus. Pattern: gas giants farther have larger diameter.
Markers: 1 identify no simple link, 1 compare near planets, 1 note outer giant size.

Markers: 1 start, 1 end, 1 trend word.

Q12. [1] Site A
Teaching note: Site A avg ~31°C > Site B ~28.5°C.

Q13. [3] Site A is urban with buildings/roads absorbing heat (urban heat island); Site B is park with vegetation shading and evapotranspiration cooling.
Markers: 1 urban cause, 1 rural cause, 1 link to data.

Q14. [2] Mean = (6.2 + 5.8 + 7.0) / 3 = 19.0 / 3 = 6.33 mg/L
Mark: 1 for sum, 1 for division.

Section C: Integrated (18 marks)

Q15. [1] 2452
Teaching note: Lower-left of square with Site 2.

Q16. [1] Site 2
Teaching note: Lower turbidity, higher DO.

Q17. [3] Site 2 better because turbidity 3 NTU < 12 NTU (clearer), DO 8.2 > 4.1 (more oxygen for aquatic life).
Markers: 1 turbidity, 1 DO, 1 conclusion.

Q18. [1] 216535 (range 216534–216536)
