Question 1 Enquiries: Mr Carel Greyling, +27 11 670 9464, [email protected]
Question: Refer to TL 101: 25
Relevant study material: • Major climate types: Fig 3 in TL 101 (Fig 2.11.1 in PB) • Population distribution: Fig 4 in TL 101 (Fig 5.1.1in PB) • Total fertility rate: Fig 5 in TL 101 (Fig 5.4.1 in PB) • Distribution of religions: Fig 6 in TL 101 (Fig 7.7.1 in PB)
Advice provided in TL 102: Refer to TL 102: 12
The completed table was marked with the following as guide:
Predominant climate type
Population distribution (persons per square kilometre)
Thailand
Humid & seasonally humid tropical (not wrong to add warm midlatitude climate, but is not predominant)
Predominantly 25-249
Together with 25-249, one or more of the following categories could also have been mentioned (but 25-249
has to be there): - Spotted occurrence of 250-299 - A small area › 1000 - An area of 5-24 along the western border
Total fertility rate (number of children per childbearing years)
Below 2
Predominant religion
BuddhismPredominant climate type
Population distribution (persons per square kilometre)
Could therefore also have given it as: 5 ›1000
Tanzania Humid & seasonally humid tropical (not wrong to add highland & midlatitude climate, but these are not predominant)
From 5-24 and 25-249 OR Therefore 5-249
Both these categories are visible, and there is not really a prominent one, so both categories need to be mentioned.
4 and above
Mixed with universalising is predominant
Ethnic religions can also be taken as correct (since mixed with universalising is part of it)
Can also state (Ethnic) African + (Ethnic) Mixed with universalising
Just African would not be correct, since the area covered by African is smaller than the area covered by Mixed with universalising
Brazil
Humid & seasonally humid tropical (not wrong if adding warm midlatitude & dry climate, but these are not predominant)
Brazil is tricky, with a mix between ‹1, 1-4, 524, 25-249, 250-999 and ›1000.
The three lighter categories are very clear over the interior, with 25-249 more to the east coast.
I therefore feel ‹1, 1-4, 5-24, 25-249 are not debateable, although addition of any of 250999 and ›1000 would be fine.
Canada Cold midlatitude Predominantly ‹1 is Below 2 Mainly Protestant, 2.0 – 2.9 Roman Catholic
Total fertility rate (number of children per childbearing years)
Predominant religion
