Population DISTRIBUTION

7. population density and distribution
Lesson 2
Population change
Factors influencing
population density and distribution

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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
