        1.3.4    The movement of the ITCZ southwards causes anticyclones A
                 and C to move south of their positions in sketch Y.                           (2)

        1.3.5    ANYICYCLONE A – South Atlantic High
                 In summer these high-pressure ridges along the south west of the
                 country divert moist air onto the land                                        (2)
                 Rainfall is minimal in summer because of the cold and dry ocean
                 that the onshore winds blow over                                              (2)

                 ANTICLONE C – South Indian High
                 It is found away from the land and further south in summer                    (2)
                 This allows on-shore winds to carry moisture over the east coast
                 and into the interior                                                         (2)
                 The east coast and interior receive most of its rainfall in summer            (2)

        1.4.4    At night, air cools as a result of terrestrial radiation and sinks            (2)
                 due to gravity                                                                (2)

        1.4.5    This cold air sinks to the valley floor                                       (2)
                 If the temperature drops to reach dew point (above 0°C)
                 condensation occurs                                                           (2)

                 Visibility problems could increase crime rates                                (2)
                 Increased traffic congestion                                                  (2)
                 It can cause motor vehicle accidents                                          (2)
                 Pedestrians/cyclists are at risk of being hit by motor vehicles               (2)
                 If it mixes with pollutants it can cause smog, that can affect human
