Answers
TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper Answer Key — Geography Secondary 1 (Version 2)
Total Marks: 40
Topic: Map Graph Data Skills
Section A: Map Reading (16 marks)
Q1 [1]
Answer: 1222
Teaching note: Read easting (across, 12) first, then northing (up, 22). Lower-left corner of the square containing the temple. Common mistake: reversing order to 2212.
Q2 [1]
Answer: 223336 (acceptable 223335–223337)
Teaching note: 4-figure = 2233. Subdivide square into 10: school is ~3/10 east, 6/10 north → 223336. Mark for correct 6-figure format.
Q3 [1]
Answer: 50 m
Teaching note: Contour interval = difference between adjacent labelled contours (100−50 = 50). Not the scale.
Q4 [1]
Answer: 0712
Teaching note: Easting 07, northing 12 (lower-left of square with river mouth).
Q5 [2]
Answer: 3242 [2]
Marking: 1 mark grid ref, 1 mark correct identification east of park.
Teaching note: Park 3142, hospital east = higher easting = 3242.
Q6 [3]
Answer: A hill [1]; concentric contours with values increasing towards centre [1]; summit about 130 m [1].
Teaching note: Concentric closing contours show a hill. Steeper if lines close; here just identify.
Q7 [2]
Answer: 455474 (range 455472–455476) [2]
Marking: 1 for 4554, 1 for subdivision north.
Teaching note: Northernmost = highest northing fraction.
Q8 [2]
Answer: 1 : 50 000 [2]
Working: 500 m = 50 000 cm. Ratio = 1 cm : 50 000 cm = 1:50 000.
Teaching note: Convert ground distance to cm before ratio.
Section B: Graph & Table (12 marks)
Q9 [1]
Answer: Jupiter
Teaching note: Table shows Jupiter 95 moons, highest.
Q10 [3]
Answer: Diameter increases from Mercury (4879 km) to Jupiter (142 984 km) [1]; generally larger for planets further from Sun [1]; Earth and Venus similar but bigger than Mercury/Mars [1].
Teaching note: Use comparative language and figures.
Q11 [1]
Answer: December
Teaching note: Tallest bar = 280 mm.
Q12 [2]
Answer: 320 mm [2]
Working: 120 + 90 + 110 = 320 mm.
Teaching note: Q1 total of Jan–Mar.
Q13 [2]
Answer: Site A temperature higher than Site B throughout [1]; difference about 8°C [1].
Teaching note: Read both lines, state difference with evidence.
Q14 [3]
Answer: Water consumption fell 165→143 L [1]; population rose 4.0→5.7 m [1]; opposite trends show efficiency [1].
Teaching note: Cite figure values, compare direction.
Section C: Applied (12 marks)
Q15 [2]
Answer: Site 1 [1]; higher dissolved oxygen and lower turbidity indicate healthier [1].
Teaching note: DO 8 > 4, turbidity 2 < 10.
Q16 [1]
Answer: 6271
Teaching note: Easting 62, northing 71.
Q17 [2]
Answer: Steep [1]; contours close together show rapid height gain [1].
Teaching note: Close contours = steep slope.
Q18 [2]
Answer: 40% [2]
Working: (80 / 200) × 100 = 40%.
Teaching note: Percentage = part ÷ total × 100.
Q19 [2]
Answer: Peaks in Jun–Jul and Dec [1]; trough in Feb [1].
Teaching note: Identify high and low seasons from bars.
Q20 [3]
Answer: River channel [1]; slip-off slope / river cliff [1]; water flow direction arrow [1].
Teaching note: Field sketch of bend needs channel, features, direction.
