NSC Geography Factors affecting the South African climate: Refer to FIGURE 1.1 showing stag

Question

Refer to FIGURE 1.1 showing stages in the development of a mid-latitude cyclone.

1.1.1 Name the front at 60° S, in diagram X, where mid-latitude cyclones develop.

1.1.2 Name the stage of development of the mid-latitude cyclone at X.

1.1.3 Give the lowest air pressure recorded in stage Y.

1.1.4 Which mid-latitude cyclone, Y or Z, is older?

1.1.5 Name the stage of development of the mid-latitude cyclone at Z.

1.1.6 What evidence suggests that the illustrated mid-latitude cyclone is in the Southern Hemisphere?

1.1.7 What is the term used to describe mid-latitude cyclones that are linked to one another?

Choose the correct word from those given in brackets which make the sentence TRUE. Write down only the word next to the question numbers (1.2.1 to 1.2.8).

1.2.1 Rivers that flow all year round are (permanent/periodic) rivers.

1.2.2 (Exotic/Periodic) rivers flow during the rainy season only.

1.2.3 Rivers that only flow after heavy rainfall are known as (episodic/exotic) rivers.

1.2.4 The majority of rivers in South Africa are (periodic/permanent).

1.2.5 In (permanent/episodic) rivers the river bed is always below the water table.

1.2.6 The water table is always below the river bed in (exotic/episodic) rivers.

1.2.7 (Periodic/Exotic) rivers flow all year round because they are fed by tributaries in high rainfall areas.

1.2.8 (Permanent/Periodic) rivers are characteristic of interchanging seasons of high and low rainfall.
