Answer Details

(a)(i) Enlarging square ABCD to twice its size

Divide the original square ABCD into a grid of equal small squares. Draw a new square whose sides are twice as long, giving an outline of \(18\,\text{cm}\) by \(18\,\text{cm}\), and rule the same grid on it so that each small square is doubled in side. Copy the detail from each small square of the original into the corresponding enlarged square, keeping the same relative positions.

(a)(ii) New scale

(b) On the enlarged outline, mark and name, using the correct conventional signs: (i) the two main roads; (ii) the settlement of Egbe; (iii) a spot height.

(c) From the contour lines, identify the land lying below 1000 ft and shade that area evenly.

(d) Three man-made features along the minor road between Oda Pete and Ogga

• The settlement of Omi.
• The school at Oda Pete.
• Footpaths and farmlands (a minor road junction is also present).

(e) Influence of relief on the location of settlements

• There are no settlements on the hilly areas because of the difficulty of building and movement.
• Settlements are located in the pass between two highland areas, for example between Ogbe and Egbe, and in the lowland areas.
• There is no settlement on the crest of the north-south ridge because of its ruggedness.
• Settlements are located on the gentle slopes, for example Oda Pete, Omi and Ogga.
