With the aid of the map in the margin of the extract provided, draw an outline map of the islands of St Christopher and Nevis (at the same scale as the map in the margin), in the frame provided in Figure 1.
[4 marks]
On the sketch map that you have drawn in Figure 1, shade St. George, Basseterre.
[1 mark]
Use the grid provided in Figure 2 to draw a sketch map at the reduced scale of 1:50 000. On the sketch map, show the coastline, the position of Basseterre, the main roads, and the upland areas over 300 feet (outline the latter roughly and label).
Note that the grid is bounded by Eastings 21 and 26 and Northings 10 and 15.

Table 1 shows the summary of the physical conditions of 200 buildings in a small town.
| Number of Buildings | Physical Condition |
|---|---|
| 80 | Excellent |
| 50 | Satisfactory |
| 40 | Need specific repairs |
| 20 | Need reinforcement urgently |
| 10 | Need to be demolished |
| 200 | Total |

Table 2 shows the average (mean) values for the characteristics of pebbles on a beach transect between a cliff and the low tide water mark at seven points (at intervals of 30 cm). Site 1 is 30 cm from the base of the cliff.
| Site Number | Mean Length of Pebble (cm) | Scale of Roundness* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 1 |
| 2 | 12 | 1 |
| 3 | 10 | 2 |
| 4 | 8 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 3 |
| 6 | 3 | 4 |
| 7 | 1 | 6 |
*Scale of roundness from 1 to 6: 1 – most angular 6 – most rounded
Draw a bar graph to show the values for the mean pebble length on the grid in Figure 3. Use a vertical scale of 1 mm to represent 1 cm.
[2 marks]
Study Table 2 and in the space below, write a summary comparing the changes in the two characteristics along the transect from the cliff.
[6 marks]
Comment on the significance of the changes.
