1 Topographical Maps ANSWER KEY- Assignment 6 Question 1 (To be answered using toposheet 45 D/7, Grid reference 76 to 85) 1. Cite two differences between the Sipu River and the Mahadeviyo Nala? Sipu River Mahadeviyo Nala 1 Has a perennial channel Completely dry 2 Flows through broken ground Doesn t flow through broken ground 3 Broad Narrow 2. What is the main occupation of people in the map? State another occupation of the people in grid square Agriculture, Construction / Lime making 3. What inference can be drawn from the black lines found along the river in grid square 8195? The black lines indicate broken ground. This feature is caused due to gully erosion along the river banks. This happen when long dry spells are followed by sudden downpour. This indicates that the area has seasonal rainfall / alternate wet and dry spells. 4.
