2. Homework
• Find a photo of a coastal area and on it label
at least 6 different factors that shape that
area, e.g. Relief, high land that stops erosion
from being too rapid
6. Factors that have led to exponential
population growth in coastal areas
LO: Factors that have led to exponential population growth in coastal areas
7. Coastalisation
• Movement of people to the coast.
• Causes conflicts are new homes are required by
sea and development can upset locals.
• In 1990 30% of worlds population lived on the
coast, by 2002 that had risen to 40%. Today 50%
of the worlds population live within 60km of the
sea.
• Coast becoming ‘loved to death’ – factors that
drew people there are being destroyed by them.
• So why are people flocking there?

8. What has caused
exponential
growth of coastal
populations?
Accessibility Potential for fishing
Flat Land
Soil Fertility
Biodiversity
Equable climate
Recreation / tourism
opportunities
Industry & port
Development
TASK
Copy this down but add a sentence explaining each factor and an e.g. if possible
E.g. Flat land. This is essential for allowing any building to happen, especially large
scale industries. E.g. Tokyo Bay

10. Coastalisation
• Human resources cause more development
too, such as;
– Skills
– Enterprise
– New uses for old buildings
– People providing services for each other
