Study the map extract provided on a scale of I:100,000 and answer the questions that follow. (Attach the topographical map extract to this answer booklet). ...

Answer Details

(a) Marking and Naming of features on the Map Extract:- (i) the 1460 Primary Trigonometrical station (PTS)  (ii) col (CL) (iii) gentle slope (GS) (iv) an area above 1900 feet in the north (ARS) (v) a confluence in the northwest (CF) 
(b) calculation of Gradient Along Line A to B:-
Gradient = Vertical Interval               =  V.I 
                 Horizontal Equivalent          H.E
V. I. = 2000ft 1100ft = 9007ft
I inch= 2.54cm
V. I. = 900ft x 12 x 2.54cm
Length of line A to B = 12cm
Scale of the map = 1:100,000
                            =lcm represents 1 km
H. E. = 12cm x 100,000
Gradient      =     900 x 12x2.54cm
                           12 x 100,000
                    =     27.432   
                           1,200,000
                    =       1   
                          43.74
Gradient      =  I in 44

(c) Reasons Why FUTUK is Likely to be a more Important Settlement than Lungo- -There is a market (trading centre) at FUTUK but there is none at Lungo -There is a school (educational centre) at FUTUK whereas there is no school at Lungo -There is a minor road at FUTUK whereas only footpaths are in Lungo -FUTUK is a built-up area whereas Lungo is not -FUTUK is larger in size than Lungo -FUTUK is a main town whereas Lungo is a village- FUTUK settlement covers a larger area than Lungo settlement
