Section A: Map Skills (Questions 1–5)

Study Map Extract 1 (provided below), which shows a coastal area in Southeast Asia.

(Note for Student: Imagine a standard 1:25,000 topographical map extract showing a coastline with a headland, a bay, a river mouth, and contour lines indicating steep cliffs on the headland and flat land near the river.)

1. Grid Reference and Direction (a) Give the six-figure grid reference for the lighthouse located on the headland. [1]

Answer: ____________________

(b) State the compass direction from the lighthouse to the boat jetty located in the bay. [1]

Answer: ____________________

2. Cross-Section Analysis Study the line X-Y drawn across the headland on Map Extract 1. Which of the following cross-sections best represents the relief along line X-Y? [1]

A. Steep slope on both sides, high peak in center. B. Gentle slope on side X, steep cliff on side Y. C. Flat land throughout. D. Deep valley in the center.

Answer: ____________________

3. Map Measurement Calculate the actual distance in kilometers along the coastline from Point A (grid square 1215) to Point B (grid square 1415), following the high-water mark. [2] (Show your working)

Answer: ____________________ km

4. Pattern Description Describe the distribution of settlements shown on Map Extract 1. [2]

5. Site Suitability A developer proposes building a large hotel at Grid Reference 135165. Using evidence from the map, suggest one advantage and one disadvantage of this location for tourism development. [4]

Advantage:

Disadvantage:

Section B: Graph and Chart Skills (Questions 6–12)

Study Table 1, which shows the monthly rainfall and temperature data for Station Z.

Month	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
Temp (°C)	26	27	28	29	28	27	26	26	27	27	26	26
Rainfall (mm)	250	200	180	150	120	100	90	100	130	180	240	260

6. Data Calculation Calculate the annual range of temperature for Station Z. [1]

Answer: ____________________ °C

7. Data Calculation Calculate the total annual rainfall for Station Z. [1]

Answer: ____________________ mm

8. Graph Construction On the grid provided below, plot a line graph to show the temperature changes throughout the year. [3] (Ensure you label axes and plot points accurately)

(Space for graph plotting)

9. Graph Interpretation Describe the trend in rainfall from January to July. [2]

10. Climate Classification Based on the data in Table 1, identify the climate type of Station Z and give one reason for your answer. [2]

Climate Type: ____________________ Reason:

Study Figure 1, a pie chart showing the reasons for visiting a National Park.

• Nature Walks: 40%
• Photography: 25%
• Camping: 15%
• Research: 10%
• Other: 10%

11. Pie Chart Analysis Which activity accounts for the largest proportion of visitors? [1]

Answer: ____________________

12. Pie Chart Calculation If 2,000 people visited the park in total, calculate the number of visitors who came for Research. [2] (Show your working)

Answer: ____________________ visitors

Section C: Photograph and Data Interpretation (Questions 13–20)

Study Photograph A, which shows a coastal management scheme involving groynes.

13. Photograph Description Describe the visible features of the groynes in Photograph A. [2]

14. Process Explanation Explain how the groynes shown in Photograph A help to reduce coastal erosion. [3]

Study Table 2, which shows the results of a beach profile survey conducted at two locations (Site A and Site B).

Distance from sea (m)	Height at Site A (cm)	Height at Site B (cm)
0	0	0
5	10	5
10	25	8
15	40	10
20	55	12

15. Data Comparison Compare the steepness of the beach profile at Site A and Site B. [2]

16. Hypothesis Testing A student hypothesized that "Site A has a steeper beach profile than Site B." Using evidence from Table 2, state whether the hypothesis is supported or rejected. [1]

Answer: ____________________

17. Methodology Evaluation Suggest one reason why using a ruler and a spirit level might lead to inaccurate results in this fieldwork. [2]

Study Figure 2, a scatter graph showing the relationship between distance from the city center and land value.

18. Trend Description Describe the relationship shown in Figure 2. [2]

19. Anomaly Identification One data point in Figure 2 does not fit the general trend. Suggest a possible geographical reason for this anomaly. [2]

20. Data Presentation Choice A student wants to show the change in population density in Singapore from 1960 to 2020. State the most appropriate graph type to use and give one reason for your choice. [2]

Graph Type: ____________________ Reason:
