Question

  1. A. City
  2. B. River
  3. C. School
  4. D. Factory

Answer

The correct answer is River. This option best matches Cartographic skills because it supports the objective to identify and describe significant physical and human landscape features on maps at global and other scales.

Explanation

The correct option is River. River is correct because it directly answers the AQA GCSE Geography objective to identify and describe significant physical and human landscape features on maps at global and other scales in Cartographic skills. For this version, define the key term, then link it to the named process or pattern; that makes the reasoning distinct from nearby practice questions on Cartographic skills. Key curriculum terms to use are map, scale. The other options are weaker if they confuse scale, process, evidence, impact, or the command word, so the response should stay within Geographical skills and explain the geographical link clearly.

Common mistake

Misidentifying Features

Students often confuse physical landscape features with human-made features on maps.

To fix this, practice identifying and categorizing features on various maps, focusing on their characteristics and origins.
