and/or incorrect option (where

applicable)
1 1 PB Sect A: 34, 37 The only option not having a spatial
PB Sect B: 4 component is Option (1). It only refers to
consumers in general as opposed to
consumers in different places (like cities,
neighborhoods, etcetera).
2 5 PB Sect B: 8 Note that cartographers do make use of
scale modelling, scaling and projections
when compiling maps. Toponomy refers to
the study of place names.
3 4 PB Sect A: We are aware of a least one student who
53 - 55 PB misread PB Sect B: 111, Fig
Sect B: 11 1.4.4. The number of time zones between
Pert and Cape Town is 6 (not 9). Since one
time zone is the equivalent of 1 hour, the
difference in time is thus 6 hours. Since
Perth is east of Cape Town it implies that
“Perth is ahead of time” (relative to Cape
Town). By turning the clock (showing 2:00
on 20 January) in Perth back by 6 hours,
you will find it is 20:00 on 19 January.
Why the reference to nine time zones?
Africa is not shown in totality in Figure 1.4.4.
Be careful not to count the same time zone
twice as some time zones are duplicated on
the left and right sides of the map.
1
, 4 2 PB Sect B: Option (2) represents the classical definition
56-56 PB of scale. I challenge you to initiate a
Sect B: 11 discussion on your E-tutor sites about why
Options (1), (3), (4) and (5) were all false.
5 4 PB Sect A: You had to spot the descriptions which
52-55 PB would not make it possible to go to the
Sect B: 10- exact location being referred to. The
11 problem with Statement (a) is that latitude
should always be mentioned first (in this
case longitude was mentioned first). Note
that a physical address as described in
Statement (b) does make it possible to go
to the exact location of the Durban regional
centre. The problem with Statement
(d) is obvious – it refers to an approximate
location (thus relative location).
6 5 PB Sect B: 20
7 3 PB Sect B: 18-19 In our opinion the answers to all of these
questions are quite obvious and therefore
no further comments are necessary here.
8 1 PB Sect B: 16-17
