population density and distribution Lesson 2 Population change Factors influencing population density and distribution RELIEF Areas with high altitude and steep slopes are difficult places on which to build or grow crops

population density and distribution Lesson 2 Population change Factors influencing population density and distribution RELIEF Low-lying, flat areas are easier to farm but may be vulnerable to flooding Areas with high altitude and steep slopes are difficult places on which to build or grow crops

population density and distribution Lesson 2 Population change Factors influencing population density and distribution The sunniest part of the UK is the south coast of England Many people choose to retire to places like Eastbourne and Worthing Lower temperatures in northern Britain in winter and summer mean that living and farming conditions are more difficult CLIMATE

population density and distribution Lesson 2 Population change Factors influencing population density and distribution ROCK TYPE The presence of coal deposits was a major factor in population distribution in industrial countries from the 19th century onwards This is the rugged landscape of Dartmoor. It is a granite upland the relief, high rainfall and poor soils mean that is unsuitable for any farming except sheep rearing

population density and distribution Lesson 2 Population change Factors influencing population density and distribution ACCESSIBILITY Motorway network ports Together with Shetland and Orkney the Western Isles are the remotest parts of the UK. Harsh weather as well as distance make them inaccessible

Urban and Rural populations Lesson 2 Population change Urban and Rural populations Describe and explain the differences between urban and rural populations. By the end of the lesson you will be able to: Describe urbanisation for MEDC and LEDC List different push pull factors Compare the increase of urbanisation in MEDCs and LEDCs

What are these places and why live there? Lesson 2 Population change Almost half of the world’s population lives in only 1% of the total space? What are these places and why live there?

Lesson 2 Population change URBANISATION The increasing percentage of the population living in urban areas. 1950 Urban population Rural population World 29% 71% EMDCs 54% 46% ELDCs 17% 83% Where do most people live? Compare ELDC & EMDC How has it changed over 50 years? 2000 Urban population Rural population World 49% 51% EMDCs 75% 25% ELDCs 40% 60%
