temperatures are much warmer than the central regions
of the adjacent continent a low pressure therefore forms
over ocean.Cool,dry winds blow off-shore from the

(Concept) (1 x 1) (1)
2.7.2 Chinook (1 x 2) (2)
2.7.3 Results from moist air rising up the windward slopes. as this air rises it cools.
The rate of cooling is the lapse rate. While the air is still unsaturated, air cools at
the dry adiabatic lapse rate(DALR) of 1ºc per 100 metres. But once condensation
begins, the rising air cools at the saturated lapse rate(SALR) of about 0,5º per 100
metres. Such cooling causes water vapour to condense to form clouds, rain or
snow on the windward side. As the air descend on the leeward side of the
mountain, it warms up rapidly at the DALR because there is now very little moisture
in the airThis descending warm air is called Fohn wind. ANY THREE (3 x 2) (6)

Snow falls
Floods ANY TWO (2 x 2) (4)

(b) Deposition-accumulation of materials (1 x 1) (1)
2.8.3 Tors are caused by chemical and mechanical weathering below the
surfaceVertical and horizontal joints in rock are formed as magma
coolsWhen water passes through the joints, they are widened by
chemical weatheringAs joints widen, separates boulders are
formed On exposure, weathering makes them more rounded
The core stones appear as a loose pile after weathered material
has been removed ANY TWO (2 x 2) (4)
