What must be on it
- A title naming the environment.
- A north arrow and an indication of scale where it is a map.
- Correctly located and labelled features.
- ANNOTATIONS: a short sentence at each feature saying which process formed it and how.
- At least one annotation showing an INTERACTION between two processes.
- A tick in the spatial/temporal box where the paper provides one.
| Map element | Worth in the mark scheme |
| Correctly located, labelled feature | Baseline — necessary but not sufficient |
