Model Answer
Map Work — Locate and label any THREE of the following:
| Feature | Symbol to use |
|---|---|
| (i) Tehri — Dam | ▲ (triangle symbol for dam) on Uttarakhand |
| (ii) Bokaro — Coal mines | ⬛ (filled square) in Jharkhand |
| (iii) Pune — Software Technology Park | ● (dot with label) in Maharashtra |
| (iv) Tuticorin — Sea port | ⚓ (anchor symbol) on Tamil Nadu coast |
Instructions for map:
- Mark the correct location with appropriate symbol.
- Write the name neatly beside the symbol.
- Any three of the four are required for full marks (1 mark each).
Explanation
- This is a pure map-skill question; no written description is needed beyond labelling on the map itself.
- Each correct location + correct symbol + correct name = 1 mark.
- Common errors: placing Bokaro in West Bengal, or Tehri in Himachal Pradesh — Tehri is in Uttarakhand on the Bhagirathi river; Bokaro is in Jharkhand; Tuticorin (now V.O. Chidambaranar Port) is on the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu.
- Use standard CBSE map symbols: filled triangle for dams, filled square for mines, dot for parks/cities, anchor for ports.
