yeah, but what apollo says is true, as in, photo 3 had a scale of like 1:1000 or watever, while photo 2 was say 1:20000, which means photo 3 literally has the smaller scale

The first 4 questions of multiple choice were sweet. In reading time I'd only looked at the essays, so i thought i was crusien. Then i noticed that silly little map, aka source C, it had montrosity written all over it.

I put photo 3- was it the building? Smallest scale means that 1 cm represents the smallest area. Anyway, I get really confused with scales.


What was the answer to the question where we had to calculate the time taken to travel that distance?

I put 30 minutes as the answer, coz I used my trusty piece of string to measure the distance as about 7.5km, and at 14km/hr, would take about half an hour to go 7.5km

Just to clear things up, I think many people are confused with the concept, (it took me a while to figure it out)

I'll quote from my trusty Geography skills book:
"Large scale maps show a small area of land"

"Small scale maps show a large area of land. Examples of small scale maps are maps of a country or state and atlas maps

i think 4 is the smallest coz it is the most zoomed in :S who knows?!

my answers were
1-C
2-B
3-A
4-D
5-A
6-B
7-C
8-A
9-B
10-C
11-C
12-D
13-D
14-B
15-A

 

[symo]

me:
1 c
2 b
3 a
4 b (nb: greater scale = greater detail, 1:1000 is greater than 1: 3000000)
5 a
6 b
7 b (was this right??? i was too lazy to measure properly)
8 a
9 b
10 c
11 b-c cant remember
12 d
13 d
14 b
15 c

hopefully got min 13/15, couple of u had 7 b so good n 5 a they were the annoying ones

NO MORE GEOG EVER!!!! cant believe how much we didnt need to know...what a waste

symo, your answers look right, If you put c for 11), then I'm pretty sure you got full marks, Nice job!!

THE DEFINTION OF SMALL SCALE MAPS

I was looking through an old text book and found these definitions:
Large scale maps show a small area of land but provide alot of detail of the features found in the area. EG 1 in 25000

Small scale maps show a large area of land but with less detail to the features found in the area. Eg country maps or state maps.

Therefore with this defintion the answer is photo 2. My other naswers were

1. c
2. b
3. a
4. b
5. d
6. b
7. b
8. a
9. b
10. c
11. c
12. d
13. d
14. b
15. a

Larger Detail - Larger Scale.
Small Detail - Small scale

 

[guy]

[Russian]

umm what did everyone get for 12 it what what is the rate of increase. in the graph the number had doubled is that 100% rate of increase?

and was 11 defineatly c

if so i got 15/15 cooool

 

[scut]

For Q14,
I put D, but i think it was B,

I'm still not too sure about what the exact answer is

 

[yenta]

hmm...everyone seems to be divided as to whether the answer to question 4 was b or c...i had b, but i hate scales and they always confuse me so I dunno if its right

 

[yenta]

question 14 I had B, i did that by process of elimination

 

[Russian]

yeah 14 was b i was asking for 12 sorry i edited it and 4 was definatly the pic with the view photo 2. my teacher did the paper and got that.

 

[yenta]

question 12, yeah the increase was 100%

Does anyone else think that the damage on the building in photo 3 in Source B looks a bit fake? There are 2 smashed holes in the windows which look totally fake, and the grafitti looks like it could've been super-imposed...=S

 

[piccaninny]

BOS ladies took away my stimulus booklet. so was the photo 3 had largest scale?

 

[Russian]

no photo 2 was

sorry, the one with the view
