Suggested Answers to Geography

(a) The feature is a river delta.

Ariver delta is a triangular- shaped alluvial fan formed at the river mouth where the water is shallow. It is crossed by distributaries. with natural levee along the banks and enclosed by

sandbars and lagoons at its seaward edge.

When the river enters the sea, its speed is checked. The sediment brought down is deposited at its mouth and deposition is accelerated by flocculation. The vegetation like mangrove also helps its formation by arresting the sediments.

Most deltas are formed in calm seas or in the bay where the deposition is more quickly than the removal of sediment by longshore drifts,, tides or ocean currents.

As the gradient in the delta is very gentle, the main channel of the river will be silted up so the river.......... overflows its banks to form many streams known as distributaries.

..

(c) If the sea level were to rise

by 50 metres, a ris may be produced. With this kind of coast, the coastline will become more indented as the valleys of the trputaries will form small intes. Many short mountain/streams will form because he rivers are dismembered The coastal slopes are seep in general,

with little or no flat land." The isolated hills become islands, while spurs may form pensulas or healands. In general, the hills and river elleys meet the coast ne more or less at right angles, a kind of discordant coast. The coast will be, at its youthful stage.

(a) 2A is frontal rain.

2B is convectional rain.

(b) Characteristics and

formation of frontal rain.

Frontal rain is usually associated with temperate: depressions. This type of rain usually occurs along fronts. It may last for several hours or a few days. This type of rain is associated with altostratus clouds. It intensity varies from light rains to thunderstorms.

When the warm moist air from the tropical region meets the cold dry air from polar region, a front is

formed. heavier.

The cold air is.

Therefore it.

The warm air is forced up over the cold air. It is cooled by its own expansion in rising. Further cooling

Convection rain is especially characteristics. of tropical latitudes. type of rain is usually torrential and frequently. accompanied by thunderstorms. In equational regions, it occurs in early afternoon.

$

It is caused when the air over a hot surface is heated up: It expands and becomes lighter than the surrounding air. It therefore rises. In rising, it is cooled. Its temperature is reduced until saturation point is reached. Condensation then takes place and cumulo-nimbus clouds form. As warm air. can hold vast quantities of moisture, If gives rise to short, very heavy rain showers.

Plantation Agriclture and Shifting Cultivation

SHIFTING CULTIVATION

(1) primitve economy (2) It is practised by natives (3) Fields are small

(4) Small capital

(5) It is found in mountains (6) A great variety of crops is

grown including both tree crops and food crops e..g. rice, banana, malze

(7) Primitive methods are used (8) Primitive tools e. g. sticks. (9) Trees are cut and burnt and

ash is used as a fertilizer (10)Farmers themselves do the

work. No workers are employed

(11) Low productivity (12)Crops are used self-

consumption

(13)It contributes little to

national income. (14) Fields are temporary and

will be abandoned when the soil becomes exhausted

PLANTATION AGRICULTURE

(1) advanced economy (2) It is introduced by the

Europeans

(3) Fields are large (4) Large capital

(5) It is carried out on

cleared areas on undulating plain

(6) A single crop is grown.

usually raw materiał for industry e. g. rubber, oil palm

(7) scientific methods are used (8) machines may be used (9) chemical fertilizers are

used.

(10)Workers are employed (11)High productivity (12)Crops are for export (13) It forms a major source of national income of many S.E. Asian countries e.g. rubber in W Malaysia (14) Fields are permanent

(c) Problems resulting from

shifting cultivation:

As shifting cultivation is a primitive farming method it can only support a low population density with no surplas for sale. When the farmers clear the forest, valuable trees will be destroyed. Also when they burn the trees, a hill fire may be caused. After two or three years, the soil is exhausted and the yield becomes less and less.

As an agricultural practice shifting cultivation causes soil erosion especially when abandoned plots on deforested hill tops are exposed to heavy rainfall causing soil erosion. This may also cause silting of rivers in valleys and increases the likelihood of flooding in the lower river basin.

(b) Differences between

(a) The problems in the

exploitation of the forest in

area X:

Much of Indonesia is

covered by dense tropical forest. It is very difficult to exploit the timber in Indonesia because the trees. are usually of mixed stands, making it difficult for selection, Hardwood timber is hard to work. The thick undergrowth, the dense growth of climbers and poor communiations make these forests difficult to penetrate. The hardwood with its ⠀⠀ spreading branches is difficult to fell, ... The heaviness of the logs makes It difficult to transport. This difficulty is aggravated by the swampy land surface. When compared with other developed countries, the hot and humid climate of Indonesia is unattractive to. workers.

Since population is sparse and diseases and wild animals are widespread in this region little labour is available. Moreover, in this primitive area, due to the lack of capital, only very low technology and poor techniques are employed. Systematic development of this area is late because of political instability.

(b) Reasons why lumbering

well-developed in area Y

Lumbering is highly developed there since it is mainly temperate coniferous forest. The trees are tall,

straight. I Therefore, they can be felled easily & they provide a high volume of usable wood. These trees. are mainly introduced from other countries eg radiata pine

They grow

ell in the Volcanic Plateau of North Island. The main advantage of Radiata Pine is that it matures quickly. The world demand for softwood is great, too. It has versatile usages, i.e. ideal for. furniture,

for construction;

pulp and paper. It is easily treated physically and chemically;

In the volcanic plateau there are hot springs, the steam from some of which has been used to generate thermal power. H. E. P. is readily available from the H. E. P. plants on the rivers - Skilled workers are. available. Because of the mild climate, cutting of trees is allowed throughout the year. In New Zealand the forest industry has been encouraged by the government which has carried out a lot of research work.
