Factors affecting population density in China and the UK LO: To explain and compare the human and physical factors that have an impact of the 2 countries

Recap… what human and physical factors affect population density?

What is the population density for China and the UK? Find out the figures using the atlas. UK: Population= Area= China: Population= Area=

GDP across China and the UK What do the next 2 maps show How may the information help us explain population density?

What do these maps tell us?

Task 1 1. Describe the population density of China (4) 2. Describe the population density of the UK (4)

Task 2 Using human and physical information from the atlas annotate the map of China and the map of the UK to explain factors that would encourage a sparse or dense population Think of a key to use to help make you annotations clearer: sparse, dense, human, physical?

Task 3: Homework Produce a 1 page report comparing and contrasting China’s and the UK’s population distribution. Success criteria: Explain what are the main physical and human factors that impact the population distribution and density in both China and the UK State in your opinion if human or physical factors are more important in both case studies Use appropriate key geographical terminology Link to the theory of factors affecting population density
