QUESTION 1

1.1   Refer to FIGURE 1.1, showing a cross section of a tropical cyclone. Choose the
      correct word(s) from those given in brackets to make the statements TRUE.
      Write only the word(s) next to the question numbers (1.1.1 to 1.1.7) in the
      ANSWER BOOK, for example 1.1.8 Rising air.

      1.1.1    The pressure system depicted in FIGURE 1.1 is a (high pressure /
               low pressure) system.

      1.1.2    The sea surface temperature to sustain this pressure system would
               need to be (above / below) 27 degrees Celsius.

      1.1.3    The cyclonic surface flow indicates that this pressure system
               occurred in the (northern / southern) hemisphere.

      1.1.4    The general direction of movement of this pressure system is (west
               to east / east to west).

      1.1.5    The cloud formation in the dangerous semi-circle (forward left hand
               quadrant) are (cumulonimbus / cirrus) clouds.

      1.1.6    Clear conditions in the eye of the cyclone results from the
               (subsidence / rising) of air.

      1.1.7    This pressure system is in the (mature / initial) stage of
               development.
                                                                                 (7 x 1)      (7)

1.2   The following descriptions indicate factors which influence the development of
      specific drainage patterns. Indicate which drainage pattern refers to each of the
      following descriptions. Write only the question numbers (1.2.1 to 1.2.8) and the
      answer in your ANSWER BOOK.

      1.2.1    The drainage pattern that develops in areas of alternating soft and
               resistant rock.

      1.2.2    The drainage pattern where tributaries flow into a basin.

      1.2.3    A drainage pattern that is generally found in areas of inclined rock
               strata, which causes the tributaries to meet the main stream at right
               angles.

      1.2.4    A drainage pattern that develops when tributaries join the main river
               at acute angles.

      1.2.5    A dome causes the development of this drainage pattern.

      1.2.6    A drainage pattern that is found in areas of steeply folded bedrock.

      1.2.7    Highly jointed bedrock causes the formation of this drainage pattern.

      1.2.8    The drainage pattern that develops when a pre-existing drainage
               pattern is disrupted, e.g. by glaciers.                      (8 x 1)           (8)

               have on rainfall over the Western Cape in winter.              (2 x 2)         (4)

      1.3.4    Evaluate the positive and negative impact that rainfall conditions
               during winter will have on eco-tourism in the Western Cape region.
