Reënval

Reënval

Reënvalstreke van Suid Afrika

  • Suid-Afrika se reënval is seisoenaal en baie wisselvallig. Dit reën dus meestal net in die winter of in die somer. ‘n Klein gedeelte langs die suidoos- en noordooskus ontvang dwarsdeur die jaar reën.
  • Ons weet reeds dat die reliëf of bou van die land en die voorkoms van die warm Mosambiek- en koue Benguelastroom ‘n groot invloed op die temperature van ons land het.
  • As die boonste kaart bestudeer word, sal daar opgelet word dat die land se reënvalstreke opgedeel word in:
  1. winterreënvalstreek
  2. somerreënvalstreek
  3. reën dwarsdeur die jaar
  4. droë streke

Elkeen van hulle word vervolgens kortliks behandel.

  1. Die Winterreënvalstreek

Hierdie streek kom slegs in die suidwestelike deel van die RSA voor, veral in die Kaapse Skiereiland. Dit strek min of meer vanaf die monding van die Olifantsrivier (noordwes) tot by die Breëriviermonding (suid). Die sikloniese reën val sag en aanhoudend vanaf Mei tot Augustus; gevolglik kry die reën kans om in die grond weg te sak. Erosie kom min voor.

Die gemiddelde reënval is tussen 500 en 1 000 mm per jaar. Die reënbringende winde is die noordwestewinde wat die bekende koue fronte teweegbring.

Die plantegroei van die winterreënvalstreke bestaan uit immergroen struike en die bekende Kaapse fynbos soos die protea en verskeie heidesoorte. Hierdie plante is baie goed aangepas om die droë somers te oorleef. Diep wortelstelsels of bolle en klein, wasagtige blare met fyn haartjies sorg dat die plante die minimum water verloor in die somer.

  1. Somerreënvalstreek

Die grootste gedeelte van ons land kry reën gedurende die somermaande. Veral vanaf Oktober tot Februarie ontvang hierdie streek sy reën in die vorm van donderbuie. Tydens hierdie warm maande word die aardoppervlak intens verhit en opwaartse of konveksielugstrome ontwikkel. Die suidoostewinde bring vogbelaaide lug in en nadat kondensasie plaasgevind het, word groot cumulonimbuswolke gevorm. So ‘n donderstorm gaan gepaard met ‘n kort, harde reënbui, donderweer en weerligstrale. Omdat die reën so hard en vinnig val, is erosie ‘n ernstige probleem in hierdie streke. Hael kom ook gereeld tydens donderstorms voor wat groot skade aan oeste kan veroorsaak.

Omdat die streek so groot is, kry dit nie oral ewe veel somerreën nie. Die ooste is heelwat natter (300 – 500mm), want die lug wat oor die platorand ingewaai word, bevat nog heelwat vog. Verder weswaarts verloor die lug byna al hierdie vog en daarom word dit ook al hoe droër na die weste (50 – 300mm).

Die plantegroei van die somerreënvalstreke bestaan uit golwende grasvlaktes met verspreide bome. Aan die oostekant van die land is die grasvelde hoër met meer bome en dit neem weswaarts af.

is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost 6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Geetha Reply
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.

hi can someone help me on this question If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output? discuss your answer using appropriate graph.

if interest rate is increased this will will reduce the level of income shifting the curve to the left ◀️
