(f) What do you understand by the following terms as used on the map extract : 

(i) Causeway (1702) 

(ii) Falls 25m (2307). 

(g) (i) If you were to cycle at 10 km an hour, how much time would it take to cover the north-south distance depicted on this map extract ? 

(ii) Calculate the area enclosed by Eastings 19 to 22 and Northings 04 to 09. 

(h) (i) Identify one natural feature in grid square 1610 

(ii) Identify one man made feature in grid square 1903. 

(i) Give two probable reasons, other than dry water features, to indicate that the region depicted on the map extract receives seasonal rainfall. 

(j) Calculate, in metres, the difference in height between the highest point on the map extract and the contour height given in grid square 2402.

Answer 1

(a) The four fig grid reference for the figure is 1903. And the figure is a seasonal tank with an embankment. 

(b) Drainage pattern of grid square 1606 is Radial and of grid square 1608 is Trellis. 

(c) The correct six figure are 

(i) Gautam Maharishi Mandir-200071. 

(ii) 0.443-179052. 

(d) Vajna settlement is another prominent settlement because 

(1) It has a police Chauki. 

(2) It is located on the metalled road therefore good transport is available. 

(e) (i) General slope of the land in the North west comer is towards North west. 

(ii) Compass direction of Chandela from Hanumanji Ka Mandir is South west. 

(f) (i) Cause way : It is a raised road or path that enable us to cross a seasonal river. It does not work during rain. It is not a bridge. 

(ii) Fall 25 m indicate the presence of a waterfall i.e., 25 metres high. 

(g) (i) one hour. 

(ii) Area = L × B = 3 × 5 = 15 km2 

(h) (i) Natural feature in 1610 is broken ground and seasonal stream. 

(ii) One man made feature in grid square 1903 is hut and embankment. 

(i) Two reasons to indicate that the region depicted on the map receives seasonal rainfall are : 

1. Cart tracks are motorable in the dry season. 

2. Presence of causeway and broken ground. 

(j) Difference between the highest point on the map and the contour height given in grid square 2402 is 1129 metres.
