(b) Weather conditions at town A:
((c)
A has a Mediterreanean climate, July 19 a. Try and hot month here. At midday the temperature is likely to be around 75°F. The Isobaric reading. is fairly high. The sky is clear and sunny and the relative humidity is low. The winds frequently light and northerly winds prevail.
Weather conditions at town B
are
Dis a tropical monsoonal area, July in a rainy and hot month. At midday, it is very hot with a temperature which is a few degrees above eighties. The isobaric reading is comparatively Low. Relative humidity of atmosphere air is s high; the sky is abat probably heavily overcast Indicating the likely outbursting of heavy rain later in the day. The winds are fairly strong and come from the south.
As the earth rotates on its axis from west to east once in every 24 hours, it turns an angle of 15° in an hour. As aresult of its direction in rotating, places to the east have local times ahead of those for the more westerly nlaces.
Hong Kong lies on the meridian 114 E whermas the central meridian of England is taken to be the Greenwich Line (0°). The two places are 114 apart in terms of longitude degrees. The difference in time between the two places is 114/150
7 hr. 36 min. That is to say, the time in England, being 7 hr. 36 min. slower than that in Hong Kong, was 10:24 p.m. on July 17th when the plane crashed on landing in Hong "ong. This is why the news of the crash could be learnt on-July 17th in England,

(e)
As temperature decreasesabout 1°F for every 300 feet ascent, both climate and vegetation change with elevation; The changes are comparable to those one experiences when travelling pole- wards from the Equator. The climate on highlands
is collectively known as the alpine type consisting varied features and a congregate of associated vegetation types which occur around the mountains.
2 distinct belts
Near the Equator, at sea-level, the climate is typically equatorial and danse equatorial evergreen forest are common, Higher up," the climate merges into the sub-tropical type; the. alopes are covered with deciduous trees on the wetter side but with savanna on the drier side. Still further up, cool temperate climate occurs and mixed forest predominate until the scene is taken over by coniferous forest at a even higher altitude where the climate terresponds to the cold Siberian type. Eventually, where the land rises above 15,000 feet above sea-level, tundra climate pravalls and the area is perpetually snow-clad beyond the snow-line.

Feature X - a wave-cut platform
Y
Reos
(11) The main process at work to form both these
features is sea erosion.
(111) Formation of a wave-cut platform
A wave-cut platform is formed by erosion by waves. Currents of water laden with sand, shingle, and other rock debris are the chief abrading agents in nature, They first break down the coast forming a cliff, Wave action is strongest at sea- level. Thus the cliff is being undercut and pushed back from the coast. The retreat- ing of the cliff leaves a fairly fist, rock murface at its base as a wave-cut platform,
wave abrasion strongest- here

cliff produced by undercutting
