Where marks usually go
- Over-writing ‘How and where are they formed’ while reducing ‘What are their consequences’ to a token paragraph
- Missing the evidence burden: this PYQ explicitly asks for examples/cases, so generic assertions on Tsunami Formation & Impacts cannot carry the answer
Value addition
- Tsunami Formation & Impacts: small labelled location map tied to the written causal chain
→ Draw it in the body, next to the point it supports.
