2 GEOGRAPHY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) Marking Guideline The following marking guidelines have been developed to standardise marking in the province. Marking ALL questions must be marked, irrespective of whether it is correct or incorrect A clear, neat tick must be used: o If ONE mark is allocated, ONE tick must be used: o If TWO marks are allocated, TWO ticks must be used: o The tick must be placed at the FACT that a mark is being allocated for o Ticks must be kept SMALL, as various layers of moderation may take place Incorrect answers must be marked with a clear, neat cross: o Use MORE than one cross across a discussion style questions to indicate that all facts have been considered o Do NOT draw a line through an incorrect answer o Do NOT underline the incorrect facts Where the maximum marks have been allocated in the first few sentences of an answer, place an M over the remainder of the text to indicate the maximum marks have been achieved. For the following action words, ONE word answers are acceptable: give, list, name, state, identify For the following action words, a FULL sentence must be written: describe, explain, evaluate, analyse, suggest, differentiate, distinguish, define, discuss, why, how The following action words need to be read within its context to determine whether a ONE word answer or FULL sentence is required: provide, what, tabulate Totalling and transferring of marks Each question must be totalled o Each question paper has four questions, therefore four sub-totals per question paper is required o Question totals to be written in right hand margin at the end of the sub- section and underlined o Totals must be written legibly o Leave room to write in moderated marks on different levels Question totals must be transferred to cover of answer book Moderation Marking on each level of moderation is done in the same way as the initial marking. All guidelines for marking must be adhered to. If a mark for a question is changed after moderation, the moderator must strike through the marker’s mark and write down the new mark. 14 16 The total for the question paper must be re-calculated, and similarly be struck off and the new total to be written down. 32 36 Copyright reserved Please turn over

You may use the orthophoto map. 2.1.1 Calculate the area in km² of the orthophoto map highlighted in red. Show ALL calculations. Marks will be awarded for calculations. L = 9,8 cm x 0,5 (98 mm x 50 000) x (58 mm x 50 000) = 4,9 1 000 000 1 000 000 B = 5,8 cm x 0,5 OR = x = 2,9 km L x B = 4,9 x 2,9 = 4,9 x 2,9 = 14,21 km² = 14,21 km² (9,6 x 5,6) – (10 x 60) (Range: 13,44 km² – 15,0 km²) (5 x 1) (5) 2.1.2 Why does the area covered by the orthophoto map look smaller on the topographic map? Scale of orthophoto map is larger than topographic map Scale of orthophoto map is 1 : 10 000 and scale of topographic map is 1 : 50 000. [Any ONE] (1 x 1) (1) 2.2 2.2.1 Calculate the average gradient between spot height 658 and spot height 627, in block C5. Show ALL calculations. Marks will be awarded for calculations. Formula: VI = 658 m – 627 m VI = 658 m – 627 m = 31 m = 31 m HE = [2,5 cm – 2,9 cm] HE = 2,7 cm x 500 = 1 350 m [1 250 m – 1 450 m] = 1 350 m Gradient = = = 1 : 43,5 = 1 : 43,5 [Range: 40,3 – 46,8] (4 x 1) (4) Copyright reserved Please turn over

8 GEOGRAPHY P2 (EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) 2.2.2 (a) Is the gradient, answer to QUESTION 2.2.1, a true reflection of the actual gradient between spot height 627 and spot height 658? No (1 x 1) (1) (b) Give a reason for your answer to QUESTION 2.2.2(a). We are calculating the average gradient and not the actual gradient. Between spot heights there is a gorge (steep slope). Along the river there is steep gradient / contour lines close together.

The Augrabies Municipality is concerned about developments which may be too close to the river or the natural floodplain in block G11, on the topographic map. 4.2.1 What is a geographical database? Digitally recorded information from sources such as maps, photographs, satellite images etc. [Concept] (1 x 1) (1) 4.2.2 Evaluate the suitability of using satellite images in obtaining geographical information in an event of the Orange River flooding the floodplain. Satellite images / photos can be used to analyse the impact of flooding Comparing photos we will see the expansion of flooding Can be used to assess impact of flooding in areas that are inaccessible Previous satellite images [Any TWO] (2 x 2) (4) Copyright reserved Please turn over

(EC/SEPTEMBER 2016) GEOGRAPHY P2 13 4.2.3 Explain the role of buffering in protecting the floodplain. Create a buffer zone next to the river where no development may take place.
