TASK
By Pius Oba
 1)this Photo was taken in the Northern Cape located in
QUESTION 1 South Africa, its nearest city being Kimberly and
closest mountain range is the Roggeveld mountains

2)The weathering agents used for exfoliation is

temperature/the change in temperature this happens
when the outer layer of the rock expands as the sun
heats it up and contracts in the night when cooled down
this process is repeated until joins form and the outer
layer cracks off the rock

 2.1b)Refers to the meeting/joining of two or more tributaries

 2.3)The Northern Cape

Low High Lateral Gentle

High Low Vertical Steep

 2.5)A high gradient indicates a steep slope and rapid flow of water ,where as a
low gradient indicates a more nearly level stream bed and slower moving
water.

Question 2
 2.6)
 2.7a)areas of lower water levels that cause the waves to beat against the
exposed rocks, which aerates the water with air bubbles which causes the
water to have it’s white colour.
 2.7b)Since rapids are one of the things that can help waterfalls form you might
find some rapids a little bit up the stream of the waterfall
 2.8)Fishing, Canoeing and Rafting
 2.9)I think people saw that the Vaal River was well known and important so
they built expensive houses and estates because they knew it was a popular
tourist attraction and knew they needed a place to stay/live
