Explanation
(a) (i) Outline = 18cm by 18cm (ii) Calculation of new scale Old scale = 1:50,000 New scale = 1 x 50,000 2 = 50,000 2 = 1:25,000 (b) On your new outline, mark and name (i) 2 main roads (ii) Egbe settlement (iii) spot height
(d) Three man-made features along the minor road (1) settlement (Omi) (2) Minor road/junction (3) School at Odo Pete (4) Footpaths (minor paths) (5) Farmlands (e) Influence of relief on the location of settlements (1) no settlements on the hilly areas (2) settlements are located in the pass between two highland areas e.g. Ogbe and Egbe.
