1a)
The scale is 1:50,000
1b)
Map distance=22cm
Ground distance=X
Map scale : 1:50,000
Ground distance =22 x 50,000/100,000
=11km
1c)
The bearing of ungwan pa hausawa from kabso hill is 110°
1d)
Old scale =1:50,000
New scale=x
1/50,000 x2 = 2/50,000
=1:25,000
New scale= =1:25,000
1e)
Length in map =48cm
Length of River Karami = 48 x 50,000/ 100,000 = 24km

Climate: This is defined as the average weather conditions of a place over a long period of time.
4bi)
Latitude it refers to the location of a place on the earth's surface in relation to the equator. Tropical latitude where the sun's altitude is always high have hotter temperature than lower latitude this change in temperature affect climate
4bii)
Altitude:this refers to the height of the place above the sun level.As one moves higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases by 6.5°c for every 1000m of ascent
4biii)
Slope and aspect: Steep slope experience more rapid change in temperature than a gentle slope
4c)
-It aid soil formation by weathering
-it determines the type of crop to be cultivated in an area
-it Causes environmental hazard
-it determines the type of nature of vegetation in an area
-it helps in agricultural purposes
