Four contours rise from 80 m to 140 m at intervals of 20 m. P is between the two highest contours.
Six locations were observed once. Several unmeasured factors could influence the number of trees.

Both surveys use the same defined cliff-top line and coordinate system. Movement is a net landward change over the whole period.

Blue bars show rainfall in the hour ending at each labelled time. The green line shows discharge at that time. Peak lag is the difference between the hours of maximum rainfall and maximum discharge.

Read latitude and longitude separately. Give a signed number: north and east are positive, south and west negative. The grid is for coordinates, not for measuring distances.

| P | -20 | -10 |
Longitude runs from -20° to 30°. Latitude runs from -30° to 20°. P is at longitude -10°, latitude -20°. Grid interval is 10°. This diagram is not a distance-preserving map projection.

Fictional training exercise. A team measures a permitted shallow reach from a safe platform. The section is simplified as a rectangle.
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Width (m) | 4 |
| Mean depth (m) | 0.3 |
| Mean velocity (m/s) | 0.5 |
Fictional training exercise. Three zones have different surface materials. The group wants to compare all zones without choosing conspicuous stones.
| Zone | Length of zone (m) |
|---|---|
| Upper | 30 |
| Middle | 50 |
| Lower | 20 |
The shading represents a percentage of households, not a total. Each class includes its lower boundary and excludes its upper boundary: a value of 20 belongs in 20–30, not 10–20.

A–D use these non-overlapping classes: 0 to less than 10%; 10 to less than 20%; 20 to less than 30%; 30 to less than 40%. A has 1,000 households and D has 100 households.
