MARKING GUIDELINES
Time: 3 hours 300 marks
These marking guidelines are prepared for use by examiners and sub-examiners,
all of whom are required to attend a standardisation meeting to ensure that the
guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the marking of candidates'
scripts.
The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking
guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some
matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that,
without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be
different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

SECTION A GEOGRAPHICAL ISSUES
QUESTION 1 GEOGRAPHICAL CASE STUDY: THE GEOGRAPHY OF
THE ORANGE / SENQU RIVER BASIN AND THE
NORTHERN CAPE
1.1 Catchment and river management
(a) (i) The area from which rainfall flows into a river, lake, or reservoir.
Area drained by a river
(ii) The amount / volume of evaporation that would occur if a
sufficient water source were available.
(b) Candidates must show calculation to get full marks.
Height difference: 3 300 m – 0 m = 3 300 m
Distance: 2 300 km × 1 000 = 2 300 000 m
1: 696,97
(Any one)
(c) Constructed knickpoint
Gariep Dam
Vanderkloof Dam
Natural knickpoint Augrabies Falls
(d) A river is said to be rejuvenated when it is eroding the landscape in
response to a lowering / change of its base level. Evidence of
headward / downcutting / vertical erosion
(e) It cannot be graded as it has many knickpoints / temporary base
level of erosion (dams and waterfalls) along the river system,
therefore the profile is not smooth. multiconcave
(f)
River erodes through uplifted landscape. River not influenced by underlying strata

(g) This is due to the influence of the air circulation of the SAHP and
SIHP and the amount of moisture they push into the interior from the
dry west & humid east ocean currents which creates 500 mm
isohyet.
1.2 Settlement and fluvial processes
(a) Linear
ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
• The settlement built along the river
• The shape of the island
• The road running through the settlement
(b) ANY TWO OF THE FOLLOWING ANSWERS:
• Along the Orange River
• On fertile soil
• A lot of water
• Very dry climate
• Wet-point settlement
• Floodplain
• Flat land
• Alongside a road
(c) Wet-point
This is due to ...
• being next to the river in the dry region
• being built right next to the river
(d) ANY TWO REASONABLE ANSWERS
• It seems to have functions within the settlement, but not enough to
be a town. Low order functions / low number of functions
• The population seems higher than you would find in a hamlet, but
not enough to be a town. Town is not built-up enough
• Mostly uni-functional activity so cannot be regarded as urban.
(e) Braided.
(f) A braided channel is one that is divided into smaller channels by
temporary islands. Braided channels tend to form in rivers that have
a significant amount of sedimentary load, a steep profile and where
discharge regularly fluctuates.
OR
When the river's carrying capacity is exceeded, the river deposits its
load into the channel. This usually happens in a very dry region.
(g) The river has created very rich soil from the alluvium.
The braiding has made many fertile islands that can be used for farming.
NOT mining

In your report you must cover the following aspects:
• Outline the observed temperature variation (rural vs urban)
‒ Rural areas are cooler than urban
‒ Kanoneiland is cooler than Upington,
particularly during the winter months
Upington approximately 2°C higher than Kanoneiland throughout the year
Greatest difference in early mornings in Spring. Smallest difference in Summer
daytime temps.
• Describe possible causes of heat in an urban area
‒ Albedo effect. Dark colours absorb heat, light colours reflect
‒ More surface heat retention
‒ More artificial heat – aircons, cars, factories
‒ More tar, darker building material
‒ More pollution to trap the heat
‒ Population numbers – accepting body heat (some textbooks mention this)
• Evaluate how the UHI has exacerbated* the temperatures felt in
Upington
‒ Upington is in a warm / arid region, this will make it even warmer
‒ More wind will move more dust around due to the arid region
‒ More dust would make dust dome thicker and absorb more heat energy,
making it warmer.
‒ More pollution would add to the trapped heat in the settlement
‒ Impacts on human health and performance
• Explore solutions urban areas such as Upington could implement
‒ Rooftop gardens
‒ Paint using different colours – rather mention lighter colours
‒ Build with more reflective material
‒ Public Transport, less pollution, lift clubs, walking and cycling
‒ More green areas within the urban space
‒ More open water
‒ Building design and / or orientation – prevailing wind. Aerodynamic
building shapes
‒ Renewable energies, e.g. solar power
‒ Filters on chimneys
‒ Fine companies that pollute

WEATHER, RIVER BASIN STUDY, RIVER CHANNEL AND
FEATURES, DROUGHT
2.1 Mid-latitude cyclone
(a) D Isotherms
(b) A Cold sector
(c) A Kalahari / interior anticyclone
(d) A Backing
(e) C Rainy with a strong south-
D Thunderstorms, gale force winds
2.2 Tropical cyclones
(a) Eye of the storm / centre or middle of storm / eye wall
(b) ANY TWO RELEVANT POINTS
• Warm ocean with a temperature greater than 26 or 27 degrees
Coriolis effect
• Low wind shear / light and variable winds
• Deep low-pressure / low pressure cell
• High humidity
• High evaporation rate
• Area of development between 5 and 25 degrees S / tropical
regions
• Latent heat
• Undisturbed period of several days
(c) Inhambane 80 to 100 km / h
Vilanculos 60 to 80 km / h
(d) Inhambane will experience most strong winds and worst effects. This
is due to it being the dangerous semi-circle where the winds are
moving in the same direction as the storm, which makes them
stronger.
First or leading quadrant storm is compressed leading to steeper
pressure gradient and stronger winds.
Inhambane has onshore winds resulting in the storm surge and more
damage.
Not acceptable to say that Inhambane is closer to the eye.

(iii) ANY TWO RELEVANT ANSWERS

2.5 River channel, fluvial process and fluvial features
(a) Upper / Youthful
(b) Turbulent
(c) Rapid or Steep sided Valley / V shaped Valley
(d) Rapids are areas of shallow, fast-flowing water in a stream. Rapids
tend to form in younger streams, with water flow that is straighter and
faster than in older streams. Softer rocks in the streambed erode, or
wear away, faster than harder rocks. This process is known as
differential erosion.
Or
Downward erosion caused by the turbulent flow of the river.
(e) Traction or saltation
(f) This occurs when the river is in flood.
The channel then has enough energy to carry the boulders along the
river bed.

(a) Water security can be defined as the ability to access sufficient quantities
of clean water to maintain adequate standards of food and goods
production, proper sanitation, and sustainable health care.
