Total Marks: 60
Section A: Data Interpretation (16 marks)
Q1 [1]
Total = 1200 + 800 + 1500 + 500 = 4000 visitors.
Teaching note: Add all values from the table. Common mistake: miscopying a number.
Q2 [1]
June (90 mm).
Teaching note: Read the highest bar from the graph values given.
Q3 [2]
Range = Max – Min = 90 – 30 = 60 mm.
[1] for identifying max 90, [1] for min 30 and subtraction.
Teaching note: Range shows spread of data.
Q4 [1]
Stack (coastal stack).
Teaching note: Isolated rock column from cliff = stack.
Q5 [2]
Any two: (1) tall rock column ~15 m; (2) separated by 8 m channel; (3) wave-cut platform at base.
[1] each.
Teaching note: Use photograph evidence.
Q6 [3]
Destructive waves. [1]
