​(ii) Draw a rectangle measuring 15cm to 10cm to represent the area of photograph.

​(iii) On the rectangle draw a sketch of the photograph and label three physical features

​(iv) Explain two physical conditions that would discourage setting up of a game park in the area shown on the photograph

• The area lacks sufficient vegetation that would provide food for wildlife/ the area lacks vegetation to provide shelter/ hiding  habitation for wild animals
• The area is high above sea level where  the  atmospheric  pressure may be too low to allow some living things to survive
• The high attitude/ presence of s now indicate  low temperature unsuitable for survival of living things
• The area is a mountaintop which sometimes 3 experiences snowfall which  would discourage wildlife
