Mark scheme (4 marks): Level 2 (3–4 marks): Clear, precise locational description with multiple named features and correct use of compass/scale references. Level 1 (1–2 marks): Basic location with limited detail; may name only the river or the country.

Indicative content (River Tees example):

  • The River Tees is located in north-east England (1).
  • It rises at Cross Fell in the North Pennines at approximately 893 m (1).
  • It flows generally eastwards for about 137 km (1).
  • It passes through High Force waterfall in its upper course and Middlesbrough before entering the North Sea at the Tees Estuary (1).

Alternative case studies (Severn, Wye, Exe) credited equivalently. No marks for unnamed rivers.
