Orographic rain (Any 1 x 1) (1)
1.4.2 KwaZulu-Natal (1 x 1) (1)
1.4.3 C (1 x 1) (1)
1.4.4 As most of the moisture has fallen on the windward side of the mountain,
there not much moisture left for cloud formation on the leeward side of
the mountain therefore the rain falls on the side where clouds are
formed. (1 x 2) (2)
1.4.5 Temperature increases with the decrease in height

The wind forces to rise.
The rising air cools and the water in it condenses to form
clouds.
This results in rain falling on the side of the mountain faces the
ocean.
The dried air rushed down the other side of the mountain
range.
The warm, dry air coming off the mountains continues to pull
moisture out the land. (Any 4 x 2) (8)

puzzle.
The discovery of fossils in both Africa and South America proved
that these two continents had once been joined.
Positions of old Mountain ranges on the map of Pangaea are all
lined up.
Geologist found that the mountains were formed of rocks of the
same type, age and structure.

2.5.4 The temperature of these two ocean currents that flow past these two
towns are different, on the east coast the warm Mozambique current
flows past Durban and cold Benguella current on the West coast.

side.

4.5.2 X Rising limb
Y Falling limb (2 x 1) (2)
4.5.3 Lag time/Time lag (1 x 1) (1)
4.5.4 The hydrograph for the city area showed very rapid increase the
discharge but the hydrograph for rural area showed a slow increase
in the level of discharge.
There is short lag time for city hydrograph. Longer lag time for
hydrograph of a rural area.
The hydrograph of for the city area showed the river returned to its
normal level quite soon after the flood peak, but the hydrograph for
the rural areas showed a slow return of the river to normal level.
(Any 1 x 2) (2)
4.5.5 Impermeable surface (e.g. roads, drive ways, pavements) cannot
absorb rainwater, so much of the rainwater flows off into the
stream.
Runoff is immediate, hence the short lag time.
Heavy rains result in shorter lag time while soft rains lead to longer
lag time.
The slope where river flows also determines the shape of the
hydrograph. (Any 2 x 2) (4)
4.5.6 More vegetation along the river allows water to seeps into the ground
and resulting in low run-off, chances of flooding are slim in this
case.
Lack of vegetation encourages more run-off and greater chances of
flooding to take place. (2 x 2) (4)
4.6 4.6.1 Smallest: Commercial users – 93 m3
