Delta: A fan-shaped landform created at a river’s mouth where silt carried by the river is deposited between smaller river channels.

Tributary: A stream that flows into a larger river, contributing water to its main channel.

Cartography: The art or skill of drawing or making maps.

V. Short Answer Questions (6 Marks)

Maps are important because they provide accurate information about places for learning, and they help travelers find directions to their destinations.

A sketch is a rough, unscaled drawing based on memory that lacks detail, while a plan is a precise, scaled drawing of a small area or building that shows accurate details and measurements.

Physical maps typically show mountains, valleys, plains, and rivers.

VI. Diagram-Based Question (3 Marks)

The Earth’s crust forms these folds due to compression, which is a force that pushes layers of rock together.

The downward-dipping part of a fold is called a syncline or a trough.

VII. Long Answer Question (4 Marks)

As a town planner, large-scale maps are essential because they show smaller areas in great detail, for example, individual buildings, precise street layouts, and utility lines. This high level of detail allows me to accurately plan infrastructure like roads, sewage systems, and placement of new buildings. Small-scale maps, on the other hand, cover large areas but lack such specific details, making them unsuitable for the precise planning required for a town or neighborhood.
