Climate and vegetation regions of south africa

Module 11

Weather from day to day

1. Weather Guide

  • There are various sources in the media daily that supply the reader and listener or viewer with the expected weather conditions for the day or the next few days.

Activity 1:

To study a weather guide and complete the table

[lo 1.3]

Study the copy of a weather guide from Die Burger of 2 October 2004 and complete the table that follows.

Maximum temperature for Vredendal
Minimum temperature for Oudtshoorn
Will fog occur?
Wind direction at Cape Town
Is rain expected?
What will the weather be like at George on Sunday 3 October?
What type of clothing will you wear in Clanwilliam?
The Riversdale Primary School is organizing a sports day for Tuesday 5 October. Will it take place?

2. Weather instruments

To be able to record the weather, different instruments are needed.

Activity 2:

To study the following sketch and find out how the instruments work. then complete the table.

[lo 1.2]

Elements of the Weather Types of Instrument
Temperature
Wind
Rainfall
Air pressure

Activity 3:

To consult the appropriate sources and build your own weather vane and rain gauge.

[lo 1.2]

Use these instruments and a thermometer that someone has brought to class to monitor the weather every day for one month. Write your observations in the table below. (You can also compare your observations with the weather report in the newspaper.)

Rain gauge

Weather vane

Date Max temp.measured 14:00 Wind direction Cloud rack Rainfall in mm
Monday____ May 20 °C NO Partly cloudy 2 mm
Tuesday_____ May 18 °C N Cloudy 8 mm
Wednesday___ May 22 °C N Partly cloudy 0 mm

Assessment

LO 1

GEOGRAPHICAL ENQUIRY

The learner will be able to use enquiry skills to investigate geographical and environmental concepts and processes.

We know this when the learner:

1.1 with guidance, selects and uses sources of useful geographical information (including graphs, maps and fieldwork outside the classroom) [finds sources];

  • distinguishes between facts and opinions [works with sources];
  • categorises information [works with sources];
  • draws sketch maps and/or plans from field observation and measurements [works with sources];

1.7 demonstrates knowledge and under-standing of the issue through projects, discussion, debate and charts [communicates the answer].

Lindiwe Reply
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
