L2 vulnerability
This document discusses dryland ecosystems and desertification. It defines dryland ecosystems as semi-arid, arid, or hyper arid based on annual rainfall. Despite receiving little rain, drylands have high biodiversity and provide important resources. However, dryland soils are fragile and sparse vegetation makes these ecosystems vulnerable to desertification from climate and human impacts. The document instructs the reader to research which 10 countries have high or very high vulnerability to desertification and look for patterns.
L5 impacts of increasing food supply research task blog
This document provides guidance for writing a report on how global food supply has increased, the environmental impacts, and potential solutions. It includes examples of an introduction with methodology, and three body sections covering: 1) initiatives that increased agricultural productivity like the Industrial Revolution and Green Revolution, 2) environmental impacts, and 3) how organic farming could reduce impacts. It also recommends a conclusion and provides a source on the Bhopal tragedy highlighting environmental impacts of the Green Revolution.
L1 2015 causes of famine and food surplus
The document provides information for a unit exam on the complex causes of food supply inequalities. It includes sample exam questions, assignments like reviewing newspaper articles, and content on topics like definitions of famine and obesity, maps showing nutrition and calorie intake levels globally, and the multiple long and short term factors that can contribute to issues around food insecurity, surplus, and imbalances. Students are to explore the natural and human causes of these problems at differing locations and scales.
L3 key players increasing production
The document discusses different players that have worked to sustain life on the margins, including individuals/farmers, governments, businesses, NGOs, research organizations, and international governmental organizations like the UN and FAO. It notes that while all have made positive contributions, such as the UN's Millennium Development Goals to reduce poverty and hunger, more international cooperation is still needed to sufficiently address this issue in a holistic and sustainable way.
L6 who is most effected by food security
The four main groups most affected by food insecurity are:
1) Those without political power such as women, children, elderly
2) Those without financial safety nets to withstand food shortages
3) People living in areas of conflict and political instability
4) Those in areas vulnerable to natural hazards and climate change
Within these groups, children and women in developing nations face the greatest risks, as food insecurity leads to malnutrition and related health issues that can have lifelong impacts. The poorest populations in both developing and developed countries spend large portions of their income on food and are therefore heavily impacted by rising food prices and shortages.
L4 impacts of attempts to increase global food supply 2015
The document discusses two viewpoints on how increasing global food supply impacts the environment: Malthus' view that population growth would outstrip food supply growth, and Boserup's view that technological innovation could increase yields. It then instructs students to draw a table to investigate methods of increasing food production, including expanding cattle, GMOs, and organic farming. Students are assigned readings on specific methods and asked to add information to the table on environmental impacts.
L1 strategies to increase global food supply
The document discusses various strategies for increasing global food supply to improve food security. It outlines examples of past efforts that have increased production, such as irrigation systems, the Industrial Revolution, the Green Revolution, and genetically modified crops. It notes that simply increasing supply differs from ensuring supply is secure. Improving security requires examining all aspects of the food system from production to consumption. Different strategies mentioned for increasing supply include fair trade, which empowers small farmers and local cooperatives, and the work of NGOs in providing sustainable local solutions through community-based initiatives.
L2 2015 causes of famine
This document discusses various topics related to nutrition including anagrams, causes of famine, obesity, and definitions of famine. It provides lists and definitions for different levels of food security according to the Integrated Phase Classification system. It also summarizes the complex, multiple causes of famine into three categories: agricultural systems of production failure often due to natural disasters, harsh environmental conditions like drought or too much/little rainfall, and underlying poverty and lack of government support for agriculture.

L3 water supply problems
Different countries face varying water supply problems based on factors like population density, rainfall levels, and infrastructure development. In the UK, imbalanced rainfall and an aging system challenge water access, while developing nations commonly struggle with untreated water, pollution, and low annual precipitation. The lesson explores how population maps, rainfall charts, and development levels relate to these international differences in water issues.
L2 consumption patterns
There are differences in water consumption between developed and developing countries. Developing countries use a high percentage of water for agriculture, around 88%, due to inefficient irrigation systems and widespread subsistence farming. Their water usage for industry is low at 2% as there is little large-scale manufacturing. Developed countries have a lower agricultural water usage rate of 9% as they employ modern irrigation techniques. Their industry water usage is high at 79% to support extensive manufacturing activities. Domestic water usage makes up 12% in developed nations but is rising in developing nations where access to piped water is limited.

Domestic water usage makes up 12% in developed nations but is rising in developing nations where access to piped water is limited.
L1 variety in supply ap
Freshwater availability varies globally due to its uneven distribution and factors like population growth, climate change, and development levels that impact supply and demand. Aquifers underground store freshwater, but some are being drained faster than replenished. While three percent of water is fresh, two thirds is frozen and one percent is available for human use.
L6 developing world cs
China faces significant challenges with sustainable water management due to having only 7% of the world's freshwater resources but over 19.5% of the global population. To address this, China is taking several steps including implementing more efficient irrigation techniques for agriculture, building new reservoirs and water transfer projects, treating more wastewater, and raising public awareness of water conservation issues.
L5 fresh water supply
The document discusses sustainable management and use of water. Over 80 million more people are added to the global population each year, placing increasing demands on water resources. Agriculture and increasing meat consumption in countries like China also impact water usage. Two million tons of human waste is dumped into rivers daily. Individuals can help by planting drought-tolerant plants and using water-efficient appliances. Organizations in places like Las Vegas recycle water from hotels through advanced filtration systems. The government implements initiatives around limiting outdoor watering and pricing to encourage conservation.
L4 attitudes and desal ap
1. Las Vegas gets 90% of its water from Lake Mead, but over the last 10 years the water level has dropped by half. One solution is to build a 500km pipeline to transfer water to the city.
2. Desalination is a technology that can resolve water shortages by removing salt from seawater to make it suitable for drinking. It involves reverse osmosis, where pressure is used to squeeze water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane, leaving salt behind. It is commonly used in dry, coastal regions like Spain, Australia, and Saudi Arabia.
3. Desalination has pros like providing a reliable water source, but cons such as high financial and energy costs.
L1 ap classification, exploitation and changes
The document defines and classifies natural resources. It distinguishes between biotic factors like living organisms and abiotic factors like non-living things. Resources are also classified as renewable like solar energy or non-renewable like fossil fuels. Humans exploit resources through activities like overgrazing, overfishing, deforestation, and overusing water. This causes changes like soil erosion, declining fish populations, loss of biodiversity, and depleted aquifers. Humans also exploit energy resources but burning fossil fuels pollutes the environment and contributes to issues like acid rain.
L2b uk distribution
This document provides information about the distribution of natural resources across the United Kingdom. It discusses the variety of soils and how they support different types of farming in different regions. It also outlines where forestry, fossil fuels, water supply and minerals are located in the UK, noting that forestry is concentrated in the north and west, coal was historically mined in places like South Wales, oil and gas come from offshore fields in the North Sea, and minerals are extracted from both land and under the sea.
Resource use and consumption
This document discusses global patterns of food, energy, and water use. It notes that developed countries consume far more resources per person than developing nations. For example, the average North American consumes around 90kg of resources daily compared to just 10kg for the average African. While the world produces enough food overall, it is unevenly distributed, leading to both obesity and famine. Developed nations like the U.S. consume a disproportionate amount of the world's energy and water resources despite having a small percentage of the global population. Patterns of consumption depend on development level and resource availability within each country.
L2a resource distribution
Global natural resources are distributed unevenly around the world based on climate and geography. Soil quality and types determine agricultural productivity and are best in areas with brown forest soil. Approximately 40% of Earth's surface is used for farming. Forests cover 30% of land, with concentration in Brazil, Canada, and the US. Fossil fuel reserves are highest in the Middle East, Venezuela, Canada, and Russia. Rock and mineral deposits are found worldwide, with certain areas rich in resources like diamonds, iron ore, or precious metals depending on their geological history. Water sources include rivers, rainfall, and desalination, but some populations face future shortages due to climate change and increasing demand. The distribution of these vital natural
L1 variety in supply ap
Freshwater availability varies globally due to its uneven distribution and factors like population growth, climate change, and development levels that impact supply and demand. Aquifers underground store freshwater, but some are being drained faster than replenished. While three percent of water is fresh, most is locked in ice or far from population centers.
L1 mexico city
Mexico City is located in central Mexico within the Valley of Mexico. Globally, it is situated in North America, while regionally it lies near the country's borders with the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico City serves as the capital and largest city of Mexico. The urban structure of Mexico City consists of a central business district surrounded by inner city, suburbs, and an urban rural fringe. Land use varies across these zones from services and high-cost housing in the center to informal settlements at the urban periphery.
L1 ap urbanisation over past 50 years
Over the past 50 years, developed countries experienced slowing urbanization while emerging and developing countries underwent rapid urbanization. Globally, more people now live in urban rather than rural areas, as shown by satellite images of the lit-up world at night. Urbanization increased in emerging and developing nations due to factors like industrialization, rural to urban migration, and economic development.
Inequality in mexico
1. There is significant inequality between the rich and poor in Mexico City. The poor often earn just enough to survive and cannot save, while many work in the informal sector without taxes or protections.
2. The poor typically live in crowded areas on the outskirts of the city that lack basic services, while the rich occupy wealthier neighborhoods near the center with amenities. Income, rural migration, political influence, and long work hours contribute to the differences in quality of life.
3. The main reasons for inequality are that the poor earn low and unstable incomes; many migrate from rural areas with nothing; the rich have more political power; and the poor often work longer hours.
Ap urban growth mexico
Mexico City's population has grown quickly due to rural-to-urban migration as people leave tough rural living for more economic opportunities in the city. This migration has been caused by both national and international factors as companies open new factories near Mexico City, drawing more people. Impacts of migration on Mexico City include the creation of ethnic enclaves, pressure on housing as migrants settle both near the city center and on the outskirts, and services straining to support Mexico City's young and growing population.
Ap solving mexico city problems
This document discusses different strategies for improving cities, specifically in Mexico City. It outlines top-down and bottom-up approaches.
The top-down approach involves large-scale developments led by the government, where officials make the major decisions. Examples given include a housing agency that provided millions of mortgages and private developers building large identical housing developments. Issues arose from a lack of infrastructure to support the new housing.
The bottom-up example provided is of Neza, a squatter settlement whose residents organized to gain land ownership. They raised funds collectively for schools and utilities. This led to a thriving community with less crime than other parts of Mexico City.
The document asks the reader to consider the advantages and
Lesson 7 ap sustainable cities
