(e) Streams in 9478 do not join a river because these are disappearing streams, which dry up or disappear into the sand.
Another grid square is 9575.
(f) (i) Black broken line in 9575 represents disappearing stream.
(ii) Black curved lines in 9879 represents broken ground.
(g) Two land forms shown by contours are
Ridge
Watershed
(h) (i) General direction of Balaram Nadi is from SE to NW.
(ii) Balaram Nadi joins on the left bank of the main river.
(i) The main occupation of the people is farming because most of the region is coloured yellow which represents agricultural land.
(j) Scale: It is the proportion between the distance on the map and the corresponding distance on the earth’s surface.
The scale of the map provided is 2 cm = 1 km.
