INTERPRETATION

Question 1

TEMPRETURE
- latitude

Answer 1

places further north are closer to the equator and usually have higher average temperatures than places in the further south

Question 2

TEMPRETURE
- altitude

Answer 2

temp decreases with height. temp affects the type of farming that can take place in the area.
contour lines, trig beacons, spot heights and bench marks provide info abt altitude

Question 3

TEMPRETURE
- distance from the sea

Answer 3

coastal locations have a maritime climate (cooler summer and warmer winter)
inland locations have a continental climate (hot summer and cold winter)

Question 4

TEMPRETURE
- ocean currents

Answer 4

the warm Agulhas/Mozambique current raises temp along the east coast
cold benguela current cools temp on the west coast

Question 5

TEMPRETURE
- aspect/slope

Answer 5

in SA, north facing slopes are warmer than south facing slopes

Question 6

TEMPRETURE
- mountains and winds

Answer 6

mountains can shield places from the cold winds.
valleys can also funnel cold winds into farming regions on winter nights

Question 7

TEMPRETURE
- urban and rural settlements

Answer 7

urban areas retain heat during winter nights because of the heat island effect
rural areas Experience a far greater terrestrial radiation, which results in lower winter night = affect crops

Question 8

RAINFALL
- non perennial rivers

Answer 8

dashed blue line
seasonal rainfall
Lots of dams
Lack of veg

Question 9

RAINFALL
- perennial rivers

Answer 9

solid blue line
high river density indicate high rainfall
No dams
High veg

Question 10

RAINFALL
- in SA

Answer 10

east = most likely to have higher rainfall
west = decrease

Question 11

RAINFALL
- rainforests

Answer 11

evidence of large areas being used to cultivate land, which might suggest high rainfall

Question 12

RAINFALL
- canals and dams

Answer 12

suggest that the area is dry or has seasonal rainfall and there us a need to store water

Question 13

WIND
- orientation of airport runway

Answer 13

this will indicate the direction of prevailing wind

Question 14

WIND
- indicate prevailing in a valley during the day

Answer 14

have to find this prevailing wind either at day or not

Question 15

WIND
- windbreaks

Answer 15

the trees can also indicate wind
roots are in the ground making it safe from any soil erosion and growth before end of term

Question 16

RIVERS
- direction of flow

Answer 16

Interpreted by contour lines
River valley has a V-shape contour line which point up streams

Question 17

RIVERS
- dendritic stream

Answer 17

I ducares that land is made of only one kind of rock

Question 18

RIVERS
- dam walls

Answer 18

Found on the downstream side of a dam

Question 19

GRADIENT
- if map is in western cape

Answer 19

There will be evidence of fold mountains

Question 20

GRADIENT
- if map Is in Karoo and free state

Answer 20

There will be mesas and buttes

Question 21

GRADIENT
- road over a mountain

Answer 21

Direct route over

Question 22

GRADIENT
- railway on a mountain

Answer 22

In steep terrain will follow a zigzag past as it follows the contours of the mountain
