1.4    Refer to the extract and map below on Tropical Cyclone Freddy.

                               IMPACT OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FREDDY
       According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the US Joint Typhoon Warning
       Centre, Tropical Cyclone Freddy formed on 6 February 2023, in the Indian Ocean
       northwest of the Australian coast. From its birthplace near Australia, it went from east
       to west across the entire South Indian Ocean towards Africa and travelled
       approximately 8 000 kilometres.
       Tropical Cyclone Freddy hit Madagascar on 21 February and Mozambique on
       24 February. The impact of heavy rainfall and strong winds in Mozambique were
       more severe than in Madagascar. This included the damage to infrastructure.
       On 5 March Tropical Cyclone Freddy turned in a north-westerly direction, hitting
       Mozambique for a second time on 11 March. This path is rare (unusual). As it moved
       in a north-westerly direction, the system was moving very slowly and this gave it
       plenty of time to draw in large masses of water from the sea. This resulted in
       continuous heavy rain to affected regions, often causing widespread flooding.
       Tropical Cyclone Freddy reached Malawi as a tropical depression, but still generated
       heavy rains and high wind speeds.

                       [Adapted from https://www.google.com/search?q=Path+of+tropical+cyclone+freddy]

       Refer to the extract.
       1.4.1     On which date did Tropical Cyclone Freddy hit Madagascar?                 (1 x 1)      (1)
       1.4.2     Why was the impact of Tropical Cyclone Freddy more severe (destructive)
                 in Mozambique than in Madagascar?                               (1 x 2)                (2)

          Refer to the path of Tropical Cyclone Freddy.

          1.4.3      Give TWO reasons why Tropical Cyclone Freddy changed from a
                     tropical cyclone to a tropical depression from 21 February to
                     22 February.                                           (2 x 2)               (4)

          1.4.4      Why is the north-westerly path taken by Tropical Cyclone Freddy
                     considered rare (unusual)?                               (1 x 2)             (2)

          1.4.5      How did the Mozambique channel influence the increase in
                     intensity (strength) of Tropical Cyclone Freddy?   (1 x 2)                   (2)

          1.4.6      Explain how damage to infrastructure caused by Tropical Cyclone
                     Freddy could have a negative impact on people in the affected
                     area.                                                    (2 x 2)             (4)

                                                     growing demand. A significant
                                                     portion of the water infrastructure is
                                                     in a state of disrepair (poor
                                                     condition), leading to frequent leaks
                                                     and disruptions in the water supply.
                                                     Over the years, several concerns
          have been raised, further highlighting the extent of the crisis. The Rooiwal
          water-treatment plant has been failing to treat the waste water and instead it
          is dumping raw or semi-treated waste water into the Apies River, which
          supplies Hammanskraal. Residents have repeatedly described the water in
          Hammanskraal as 'brown and slimy'. In 2019, the South African Human
          Rights Commission declared the water unfit for human consumption. Adding
          to the residentsʹ plight, the City of Tshwane, in August 2021, shut down the
          Temba water purification plant, leaving Hammanskraal without access to
          water for a week.

                     GENERAL INFORMATION ON CLARENS

Coordinates: 28°31'S; 28°25'E

Clarens is a small town situated in the Thabo Mofutsanyana region of the Free State
in South Africa.

The Rooiberg mountain range encompasses the area and further towards the south-
east are the Maluti Mountains. The area is surrounded by sandstone cliffs with their
multi-coloured layers – the horizontal strata is a characteristic feature of the area.

In Clarens and surrounding areas, the climate is warm and temperate. Days
throughout the year are usually sunny and bright and winter night temperatures have
been known to drop to -14 °C.

Rainfall occurs mainly in the summer months and thunderstorms are mostly of a very
short duration.
