1) Human and physical processes work together to create distinct UK landscapes. 2) Key human activities that have impacted landscapes are agriculture, forestry, and settlement. 3) These three main activities have led to changes in the landscape over time. For example, comparing maps from 1800s to present in the Low Weald area shows changes from agriculture and settlement.

Unit 11 understanding land supply
Singapore faces land constraints due to its limited land supply and rising global population and urbanization. Land is a scarce resource, making up only 30% of the Earth's surface, of which only 10% is habitable. The global population has risen from 3 billion in the 1960s to over 7 billion currently, increasing demand for residential, industrial and agricultural land uses. More people are also living in urban areas, leading to the formation of large cities and increasing land needs for housing and development. With the fixed supply of usable land and growing competition between different land uses, Singapore must find ways to more efficiently utilize its limited land resources.

Unit a interactionsandecosystems(human impacts)
Matthis Wackernagel and William Reese developed the ecological footprint concept to measure human demands on ecosystems by calculating the land and sea area required to sustain our consumption patterns and absorb our waste. They determined the ecological footprint by analyzing how much energy, materials, and land humans use as well as the land needed to dispose of waste. Their concept suggests individuals can reduce their impact by decreasing water, energy, and material usage and increasing recycling and reuse of resources.

Soil erosion in nepal
Nepal faces significant issues with soil erosion due to its steep slopes, monsoon rains, melting snow, unstable soil, and increasing population. Soil erosion is caused by deforestation to use wood for fuel, overgrazing of livestock, and the collapse of terraces built to farm steep slopes. To address these problems, Nepal has implemented tree planting programs, restricted grazing areas, built small dams, and encouraged alternative fuels like yak dung to reduce deforestation. Government agencies and self-help schemes also aim to stabilize soils and repair collapsed terraces.

Grade 11 STUDENT - Population Distribution ,Density and Structure 3.pptx
This document provides information about factors that influence population distribution and density. It discusses how population is unevenly spread worldwide and defines key terms like population distribution, density, and growth. Population distribution is influenced by physical factors like relief, climate, drainage, and soils as well as human factors like agriculture, mining, and urbanization. Population density is calculated by dividing the total population by the land area. Countries in the Caribbean have varying densities, with the highest in Bermuda and lowest in Guyana. Choropleth maps can be used to display differences in density across areas. World population has grown significantly from 1.65 billion in 1900 to over 7 billion currently, influenced by birth rates, death rates, and fertility rates.

Population Transitions

What is happening here?
Both birth and death rates are declining, but with different starting points based on the measure of economic conditions.
However, since births > deaths human populations are increasing, and at differential rates with respect to economic development.
What factors are hidden in these curves?
Malthus’s Population Dynamics
Population grow in proportion to its size: Change (dN) is related to numbers N.
The rate of change simply is the difference between birth (b) and deaths (d); i.e. (b-d).
Introducing the Newtonian idea of mass action and his calculus then:
dN/dt = (b-d) N.
(1766-1834)
17
The Dilemma
Newton showed that for (b-d)> 0 the population grows to infinity in time (exponential growth) and for (b-d)< 0 the population decays to zero. If only b=d?
When does this happen: Logistic growth and the concept of Carrying Capacity (K).
Under logistic conditions: dN/dt = rN(1-N/K)
This was first derived in about 1832 by Verlhust.
Solution
s to demographic challenges?
Malthus decided: war, plague or famine
The other would be to let b=d and live at the environmental Carrying Capacity (K) where N=K and dN/dt =0; i.e. steady populations.
Now all we have to do is define K.
Reading: Brown Into. and Chapter 1
-What does Brown think determines K?
Problem: Can you derive the logistic equation? Set b=bo-b₁N and d=do+d₁N and then with some algebra define r andK.
Suggested Reading:
What does Brown feel is important?

Soil: The basis of agriculture
Climate: The temperature and water flow that allows these to be available.

Problem: It would be useful to identify
and connect the major ideas of American
environmental planning from the late 19th
century up to today, to show its evolution
over time and anticipate its potential future
direction.
Purpose: I aim to tie together the major
ideas of American environmental planning,
showing how they have evolved, and suggest
what additional changes will be required to
progress further toward sustainability.
Methods: I review the literature, defining
five time periods that are useful for under-
standing and analyzing environmental
planning successes and shortcomings.
Results and conclusions: Environ-
mental planning has its roots in the physical
design of cities and the tension between
conserving natural resources for human use
and protecting wilderness. In the 1920s,
regional environmental planning emerged.
Federal environmental impact statements
were first required in the 1970s, along with
efforts to clean up and prevent pollution.
A backlash against government command
and control began in the 1980s, leading
governments to use incentives to address
environmental problems. The current era
makes sustainability the goal, tying together
the ideas and practices of the previous eras
and blending regulation and financial
incentives to address national and global
environmental problems, such as climate
change. To reduce carbon footprints and
increase water and energy conservation in
the face of significant population growth in
the United States will require making
environmental planning a political priority,

A Trail Across Time
American Environmental Planning From
City Beautiful to Sustainability
Thomas L. Daniels
E
nvironmental planning is the theory and practice of making good,
interrelated decisions about the natural environment (natural
resources, wildlife, and natural hazards), working landscapes (farms,
forests, and lands from which minerals are extracted), public health (air and
water pollution, toxics, and waste disposal), and the built environment (Daniels
& Daniels, 2003). This article is organized around five time periods, in each
of which I argue that American environmental planning defined the most
pressing environmental problems of the day; exhibited public and private
strategic capacity and willingness to plan responses to those problems; and
developed and used scientific knowledge and planning technology to manage
the environment. I judge environmental planning in each of these eras by
whether it did or did not improve environmental quality (Fiorino, 2006;
Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999; Ndubisi, 2002).
Each era that I identify in American environmental planning has distinct
problems and presents new ideas and approaches to managing the environment.
Each brought thought and practice further along, closer to what it would be
in the next period. Taken together, they define the trail toward planning for
sustainability and for the entire global biosphere (see Figure 1). ...
AFRICA Atlas of Our Changing Environment
The document discusses the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) efforts to raise awareness about environmental issues through effective communication. UNEP aims to get its message across through compelling visual presentations that tell stories of environmental changes over time using satellite imagery, photos, and narratives. The document provides details on UNEP's Atlas projects in Africa which compile environmental data, images, and facts about each country to track issues like deforestation, population growth, and progress on sustainability goals. The goal is to make policymakers and the public aware of important environmental challenges and opportunities through engaging visual content.

This document discusses the problems of and solutions for sustainable development. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It outlines that the planet has finite resources and examines concepts like ecological footprint. It warns of issues like overpopulation, resource depletion, and pollution. Solutions proposed include political cooperation, adopting circular economies, renewable energy, and prioritizing social well-being.
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.

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.
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
This document discusses ways that Birmingham, England works to make urban living more sustainable and improve quality of life. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs, often considering social, economic, and environmental aspects of city living. The document outlines an activity for students where they will research in groups how Birmingham specifically addresses issues like recycling, employment, education, health, transport, affordable housing, and energy-efficient housing to promote sustainability.
Lesson 6 retail changes ap
The document summarizes the major changes in retailing that have impacted Birmingham over recent decades:
1. In the 1800s, suburbanization occurred as people moved from the crowded, polluted city center to spacious suburbs.
2. In the 1870s, industry began relocating from city centers to the suburbs.
3. In the 1980s, out-of-town shopping centers like Merry Hill opened, taking 12% of the city center's trade and offering free parking and large retailers.
4. Birmingham's city center fought back through redevelopments like the Bull Ring and Grand Central that improved pedestrian access and amenities.
5. Internet shopping has grown to 15% of
Lesson 5 inequality ap
The document discusses inequality within the city of Birmingham. It notes that while some areas like Moseley and Edgbaston have been commended for their quality of life, other inner-city areas suffer from multiple deprivation and economic decline related to the loss of manufacturing jobs. Deprived areas are identified using indices that measure factors like unemployment, income, health, education, and crime. The causes of inequality in Birmingham stem from deindustrialization that led to high unemployment and less money circulating in inner cities, creating a downward spiral of decline, while newer suburban areas benefit from positive economic multipliers.
L3b ap b'ham popn
Birmingham's population has experienced significant growth and changes since 1825.
1) Birmingham's population grew rapidly in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution as people moved to the city for work in new industries.
2) The population peaked at around 1.15 million in 1950 before declining between 1950 and 2000 during a period of deindustrialization and globalization that closed factories and increased unemployment.
3) Since 2000, Birmingham's population has grown again due to new developments like the Bull Ring and improved transport links like High Speed 2 rail.
