Rural settlements have low populations and densities and rely on primary activities like farming, fishing, and mining for livelihood. They have limited public facilities, use narrow footpaths and roads, and may lack clean drinking water or amenities. Residents live a simple lifestyle, help one another, and seldom travel outside the area.

Urban land use
Year 10 KS4 lesson. At the end of the lesson students will be able to describe the changes of land use throughout a city, and identify the six different land use zones.
Settlement - Introduction for the topic
This document discusses settlements in geography. It defines a settlement as a place where people live and interact through activities like agriculture, trading, and entertainment. Settlements help understand the relationship between humans and their environment. Factors that influence settlement locations include resources, soils, shelter from the elements, and defense from enemies. The document then discusses different types of settlement patterns like nucleated, dispersed, and linear, as well as hierarchies of urban settlements from world metropolises to smaller cities. It also discusses problems associated with rapid urbanization in developing countries.
Urban Land Use

Sec 2 Unit 4 rural and urban settlements
This document outlines a geography unit on rural and urban settlements. It defines rural settlements as villages where primary industries like farming and mining are dominant, and amenities are more primitive. Rural life has a slower pace and more communal living. Urban settlements are defined as towns and cities, where functions are more diverse and include residential, commercial and industrial. Amenities in urban areas are more developed with services like transportation, water, healthcare and shops. Urban life has a faster pace and people live closer to amenities. The document provides examples of characteristics to identify and differentiate between rural and urban settlements.
Grade 8 term 3 Geogeography (settlement)
Geography grade 8 term 3 topic (Settlement) explores how land is used in rural and urban areas. Also identifying different natural and constructed features through aerial and oblique photographs. The huge gap that exists between rural and urban settlement is also explored. Google Earth/Pro can be used for virtual reality tours of the latter areas in the classroom. Happy learning !
Models Of Urban Land Use
1) High rise buildings are located in city centers because land is most expensive in the central business district (CBD) and building vertically maximizes profits from limited land.
2) Early urban models show concentric zones of land use radiating from the CBD based on decreasing economic rent, with more complex factors like transport routes and topography adding complexity.
3) The sector model recognizes that transport lines influence land use patterns, forming wedges of similar uses radiating from roads rather than perfect circles.

Settlement types di
There are three main types of rural settlements: dispersed settlements which consist of isolated farms or small hamlets separated by distance, nucleated settlements where buildings are clustered around a central point such as villages, and towns with dispersed dwellings like farms and houses. Settlements can also be classified by their shape, such as linear ribbon developments along roads or rivers, or radial towns arranged in circles around a central point. Additionally, settlements are distinguished by their economic activity, for example agro-towns with large populations focused on agriculture, residential towns used mostly for housing, or fishing towns specializing in seafood.

Settlement yr 7.2
A settlement is defined as a place where people live, ranging from a single house to a large city with over 10 million residents. Settlements can be classified based on their site, type, shape, size, functions, and hierarchy. Rural settlements are typically smaller areas where people engage in farming, fishing, or mining, while urban settlements are larger areas where people work in non-rural industries and services. Characteristics such as population size, social heterogeneity, and economic functions help distinguish rural from urban settlements.
Settlement and urban growth
The document discusses the location and growth of settlements. It describes how early settlements were located based on factors like access to water, defensive positioning, and natural resources. It then explains how settlements evolve over time and take on different functions. The main functions of settlements discussed are administrative, defensive, mining, industrial, tourist, educational, religious, residential, port, market town, and route center. Larger settlements tend to be multi-functional. The document also introduces models of urban land use, including the Burgess and Hoyt models which describe concentric zones of land use radiating from the central business district.
Types and Pattern of Rural Settlement
This document discusses types of rural and urban settlements. It defines a settlement as a permanent or temporary community where people live. There are two main types: rural settlements, which are usually villages surrounded by farms where people engage in activities like farming, fishing, and forestry; and urban settlements, which are towns and cities where people work in offices, shops, and factories. The pattern of rural settlements can vary from dispersed individual farms to nucleated clusters of houses or linear patterns along transportation routes. The document also lists some advantages and disadvantages of both rural and urban living.
Urban settlements
This document discusses urban settlements and urbanization. It begins by defining urbanization as the growth of towns and cities leading to an increasing percentage of the population living in urban areas. It then provides details on factors that influence urbanization, including the Industrial Revolution, population growth, and migration from rural to urban areas. Some of the fastest growing cities mentioned are located in South and Southeast Asia. The document also covers counter-urbanization, megacities, and factors that influence the size, growth and functions of urban settlements such as their role as ports, administrative centers, or locations along transport routes.
4.4 - Urban Geography
Urban geography is the study of how people use space in cities and how things are arranged in relation to each other. A city is defined functionally by what it does, not just by its size or population. It serves as the center of business and culture for a surrounding region. Elements of cities include suburbs, which touch the central city or other suburbs, and exurbs, which are smaller residential and commercial units farther from the main city. Land in cities is used for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes, and cities tend to develop near water access, at transportation intersections, or in sheltered areas that provide defensive positions or fuel and food supplies.
Primate City concept
A primate city is disproportionately larger than other cities in its country or region, having at least twice the population of the second largest city. Primate cities often have a "king effect" and unplanned development that leads to problems like shortages of housing, traffic congestion, pollution, and urban-rural inequalities. Examples given include London, Bangkok, Mexico City, and Paris - with Bangkok highlighted as the largest primate city in the world, containing over 7.5 million people or 70% of Thailand's urban population.
Rural settlement types
There are four main types of rural settlements in India: clustered, semi-clustered, hamleted, and dispersed. Clustered settlements are compact villages with houses built close together, while semi-clustered settlements are partially clustered with some houses located farther away. Hamleted settlements consist of separate housing units under a common name. Dispersed settlements involve isolated homes or small hamlets scattered over remote or rugged terrain. Physical geography, social factors, defense needs, and resource availability all influence the type of rural settlement in different areas of India.
urban centre
The document discusses the functional classification of Indian cities as proposed by Asok Mitra. He grouped cities into seven categories - manufacturing, artisan, mining, plantation, trading, transport and services - based on the percentage of workers engaged in different economic sectors. Mitra further classified the cities based on their degree of specialization using a triangular method to plot each city on a graph. While the classification identified specialized city types, most Indian cities were found to have a diversified economic base with no clear single function.

Settlements
Human settlements can originate for religious, cultural, political, or economic reasons. There are two main types: rural settlements focused on agriculture, and urban settlements with secondary and tertiary industries. Settlements can be classified by size and function, such as villages, towns, cities, and conurbations. Geographers study the patterns and relationships between settlements and how they reveal aspects of human culture. Rural settlements rely on primary activities, have an intimate relationship with nature, are less mobile, and tend to be friendly with clustered or dispersed forms. Their development depends on factors like farming techniques, available resources, location for water, trade, and defense.
Urban Models
This document discusses two urban models: the Burgess model and the multiple nuclei model.
The Burgess model proposes that urban areas develop in concentric zones radiating out from the central business district. It defines five zones - the CBD, a transition zone, an inner city zone, outer suburbs, and a commuter zone.
The multiple nuclei model was developed in response to the limitations of the Burgess model. It proposes that cities grow around multiple centers or nuclei, rather than a single center. Each nucleus develops its own surrounding zones of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The model assumes even distribution of resources and transportation costs.
The document outlines the key assumptions and zones of each model, and notes some
Urban development in third world countries
Third World countries are economically underdeveloped nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They are characterized by poverty, high birth rates, dependence on developed nations, and distorted economies focused on exporting raw materials. Rapid urbanization in these nations has led to the growth of large slums and informal settlements that lack basic infrastructure and employment opportunities, housing a large percentage of urban populations living in poverty.

What Is A Settlement Hierarchy
A settlement hierarchy refers to the ranking or ordering of human settlements based on factors like population size, number and type of services, and sphere of influence. Larger settlements like cities and towns are higher in the hierarchy and have more services than smaller settlements like villages and hamlets. A settlement's sphere of influence is the area around it where it provides services and attracts people. Central place theory also describes how settlements are spaced based on the services they provide to their surrounding areas.
Sector theory
Homer Hoyt proposed the sector model as an update to the concentric zone model. The sector model accounts for major transportation routes radiating out from the central business district. Land uses, such as industrial, commercial, and residential zones, develop along these transportation corridors in wedge-shaped sectors. The model places low-income housing and industry closest to the central business district, with wealthier residential neighborhoods farther out. Examples of cities that generally follow the sector model include Chicago and Calgary.
Definition, Evolution and approaches of cultural geography.
Cultural geography is the study of culture and its relationship to place. It examines how cultures are distributed across space and how places and identities are produced. Cultural geography analyzes cultural values, practices, expressions, and artifacts, as well as cultural diversity and plurality. It considers how people make sense of places and develop a sense of place. Cultural geography focuses on cultural components like religion, language, architecture, and more, and how they differ around the world. It aims to understand the relationship between humans and their environments. Cultural geography developed from the work of Carl Sauer at UC Berkeley and emphasizes qualitative analysis over quantitative methods. Today, it includes specialized fields like feminist geography and urban geography.

The document discusses urban land use models and zones. It provides information on the concentric zone model and sector model, describing typical land uses like commercial, residential, and industrial that tend to group together in urban zones moving from the urban center outwards. Key zones discussed include the central business district, inner city, inner and outer suburbs, and rural-urban fringe at the edge of cities.
Settlement
The document discusses different types of rural and urban settlements and their characteristics. It defines settlements as places where people live together and examines their dominant functions, amenities, and ways of life. Rural settlements typically have activities like farming and fishing as their main purposes, poorer amenities and services, and a simpler lifestyle. Urban settlements usually have functions like manufacturing and trade, better infrastructure and facilities, and a higher standard of living, but a more stressful environment. Settlement patterns can be nucleated around a central location, linear along transport routes, or dispersed across a wide area.
Rural settlement
The document discusses two types of settlement: dispersed settlement and nuclear settlement. Dispersed settlement involves people living in separate homes spread over a large area, while nuclear settlement consists of clustered housing and communities centered around a core group.

AS Level Human Geography - Urbanization and Settlement
In this chapter, we will discuss how our cities/ villages are shaped. We will look at how residential factors can affect incomes and poverty, migration and population.
Settlement Patterns
Settlement patterns can take various forms including dispersed, linear, and nucleated. Dispersed settlements involve scattered houses over a large rural area, often in hilly or flat lands. Linear settlements see grouped houses along roads, railways, coasts or rivers to benefit from transportation. Nucleated settlements center around a focal point like a road intersection, with houses clustered around this nucleus, potentially growing into market towns or urban centers over time.
Rural settlement changes and issues in uk lesson 7
Rural areas in the UK have seen significant changes due to improvements in transport and technology. Villages have grown rapidly due to an influx of commuters, losing their original character. For example, Gower Village has become suburbanized. Second homes provide both advantages through economic benefits but also disadvantages like increased housing prices and traffic. Rural depopulation is an issue as seen in the remote Scottish island of Iona, which has faced a declining population, aging demographics, and lack of jobs and services for youth.
Sustainable settlement patterns
This document discusses studying traditional rural settlement patterns. Villages and rural communities have evolved over time based on their local environment and culture. Each village is uniquely adapted to its region and microclimate. There is a distinct informal character and human scale to rural settlements that is often missing from contemporary cities. Studying rural morphology can provide inspiration for urban planners by highlighting sustainability principles that could be applied to urban planning with modifications. Understanding the spatial form and logic of existing rural settlements may provide lessons on creating more human-centric urban planning in the future.
Settlement Characteristics
The document describes various characteristics used to describe settlements, including site, situation, function, shape, population, and area. It discusses important site factors that influenced where settlements were located, such as access to water sources, defensive positioning, and shelter from aspects. Situation describes a settlement's location in relation to other features. Function refers to a settlement's main economic and social activities. Shape can be dispersed, nucleated, or linear. Settlement hierarchies rank settlements based on size and importance.
Human Settlements
Human settlements can range in size from small hamlets of under 100 people to massive megalopolises containing millions. Early settlements were often located in places that provided natural defenses, access to resources like water and fertile soil, and opportunities for trade and transport. Over time, as settlements grew, their layouts and functions also evolved, with some becoming more planned and specialized in areas like administration, industry, commerce, or tourism.

MORPHOLOGY OF RURAL SETTLEMENTS
The document discusses the morphology and socio-spatial structure of rural settlements in India. It describes how settlement morphology examines the layout, plan, and internal components of villages in relation to their physical and socio-economic spaces. Caste plays a major role in determining the internal structure, with higher castes typically occupying the central areas and lower castes on the peripheries. The case study of Sangawali village in Uttar Pradesh illustrates this caste-based spatial organization, with Brahmins and Rajputs at the center and untouchable castes on the outskirts.
Secondary 2 Geography-Urban Settlement
Urban settlements are densely populated areas with high population sizes and densities. They have diverse economic activities like manufacturing, ports, tourism, and commerce. Urban settlements provide good amenities and public facilities like sanitation, electricity, transport, and access to services through infrastructure and technology, though pollution can also result from high levels of activity.
Changes In Rural Settlements In The Uk
Remote rural villages in the UK are experiencing population decline as the elderly population moves away due to limited means, leaving houses to be purchased as second homes. This leads to a "ghost town effect" for most of the year and deprivation as many cannot afford to move. In contrast, accessible rural areas near urban fringes are expanding as new housing estates are built, often with houses too expensive for local people. This expansion brings increased congestion from more cars and a "dormitory" environment where villages are empty during the day. Services are also changing, with some gaining support through grants but others declining or closing altogether due to falling passenger numbers and an aging population. The Isle of Purbeck exemplifies these trends as house prices
Rural Decline[1][1][1]
The document discusses rural decline in the UK and its effects in the Lake District. It notes that factors like mechanization, education, and transportation led to population drift from rural villages to cities starting in the 20th century. This caused the closure of village facilities. While tourism now employs over 1/3 of the Lake District's population, it is seasonal and low-paying work. The increase in second homes has left many villages like Chapel Stile only partially occupied.
Urban habitats
This document discusses various topics related to urban settlement and the growth of cities. It describes how most people live in towns and medium-sized cities, but the number of megacities with over 10 million inhabitants has increased. Cities grow and form large urban areas, metropolitan areas, and megalopolises. The urban hierarchy ranks cities from world metropolises down to smaller cities. The document also examines the analysis of cities in terms of location, urban plans like orthogonal and radiocentric, and types of urban construction such as old buildings, blocks, and single-family homes.
Rural settlements
Most rural settlements initially grew up based on sites that were determined by key factors like water supply, relief or terrain, soils, shelter, and defense. These sites needed to provide access to water, have suitable land for farming, offer shelter and protection, and be located in areas that were easy to defend. Rural settlements served functions like farming to produce food, mining to extract resources, tourism for recreation, and residence for people working in nearby towns and cities.
Map Skills Revision
The document provides guidance on map skills for a geography exam, including how to interpret Ordnance Survey maps, use grid references, measure distances, describe features, and understand different map types. It explains how to analyze maps, aerial photographs, and compare map features. Key skills covered are reading map scales, symbols, relief, land use, settlement patterns, and using maps to describe patterns and distributions.
Rural development ppt
Rural areas are separately settled places away from large cities characterized by lower population density and engagement in primary industries like agriculture. A rural community has a sense of unity and religion plays an important role in village life. Rural lifestyles differ from urban ones in having limited services, public transport, and utilities. Rural development aims to improve the economic and social conditions of rural poor through collective efforts and generation of employment in farm, storage, and other economic activities while also developing infrastructure, health, education, and living conditions. It faces various challenges including traditional mindsets, lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, and economic and leadership problems. Rural development is important for India to develop rural areas holistically and empower communities.
Rural settlement change and development in led cs
Rural settlements are an important part of human landscapes but have undergone significant changes recently. Rural to urban migration is occurring in both MEDCs and LEDCs due to push and pull factors, while some urban to rural migration also takes place. Declining rural populations lead to problems like closure of services and infrastructure. Key drivers of rural change include economic and technological changes, urban growth, and government policies around funding and planning.
All about a camel in a desert!
Adaptation allows animals and plants to survive in their habitats by changing to suit the climate. Camels are well-adapted to desert life by storing water in their stomachs and humps and having wide feet to walk on sand and long eyelashes to protect their eyes from sun and sand. Penguins are adapted to swim efficiently by having streamlined bodies. Habitats provide the resources animals need, like deserts for camels and oceans for sharks.

Rural communities have lower population density and agriculture as the main occupation. Features include villages as primary institutions, a sense of community, and religion's importance. Rural development aims to improve economic and social life through collective efforts and bringing progressive change. It discusses objectives, problems, and the importance of rural development in improving living standards, infrastructure, education, and more.
Water consumption pattern
Water consumption patterns differ between rural and urban settlements. In rural areas, water is mainly used for farming activities like irrigation and vegetable gardening, which accounts for over 50% of outdoor water use. Water is also used for domestic purposes like laundry, showering, and hygiene. In urban areas, domestic use makes up a large portion of consumption, along with outdoor uses like gardening, vehicle cleaning, and commercial/institutional needs. Industrial activities also contribute significantly to urban water usage. Excessive fertilizer and pesticide use can pollute water sources in both rural and urban areas.

Rural areas are characterized by lower population density and a focus on agriculture, cottage industries, mining, oil/gas, or tourism. Rural communities have a sense of unity and religion plays an important role in village life. The main objectives of rural development are to improve infrastructure, health, education, and the economy. Some problems facing rural development include traditional mindsets, lack of education, insufficient infrastructure and economic opportunities, and small land holdings. Rural development aims to improve living standards and empower rural populations.
Slum definitions
The document defines slums according to various sources such as the UN Habitat and Britannica Encyclopedia. Slums are characterized by inadequate access to water, sanitation, substandard housing quality, overcrowding, and insecure residency status. They tend to have high poverty and unemployment rates. The growth of slums is driven by urbanization, industrialization, and rural-to-urban migration as people seek opportunities in cities. However, the inadequate housing supply and lack of basic services and infrastructure in urban areas leads to the formation of slums. The document also provides statistics on slum populations in India and the state of Madhya Pradesh. It outlines government policies and programs to address urban poverty and slums.
Unit 10 Rural and urban settlement.pptx
Rural and urban settlement in Rwanda is discussed. There are four main types of rural settlements: clustered, dispersed, linear, and planned. Planned rural settlements (imidugudu) were established by the government to improve living standards. However, they also have disadvantages like improper waste disposal and lack of space. Urban centers have characteristics like higher population, employment, and infrastructure but also issues like traffic, high costs, and slum settlements. The document provides details on rural and urban settlements in Rwanda.
Settlements
Human settlements can take many forms and sizes, from small isolated dwellings to large metropolitan areas. They are composed of people, the natural environment, infrastructure, and social structures. Settlements are classified based on their function as either rural, consisting of villages and farms, or urban, with non-agricultural activities and large populations. They also vary in scale from hamlets to towns to large cities. Settlement patterns are dispersed, linear, nucleated around a central point, or planned in a regular geometric layout.

S2 GE Handout - Settlements (Teacher)
This document provides information on rural and urban settlements, as well as different settlement patterns. Rural settlements typically have buildings not closely spaced, a small population size, and people involved in activities like farming, fishing, or mining. Urban settlements have closely spaced buildings, a large population size, and people involved in manufacturing, business, or services. Settlement patterns include linear settlements along transport routes, nucleated settlements with clustered buildings around a central node, and dispersed settlements with individually scattered buildings over a wide area.
urban fringes
The urban fringe is the transitional zone between urban and rural areas. It is becoming increasingly important as cities expand outwards. The urban fringe goes through several stages of transformation, starting as purely rural land and eventually becoming urbanized as the city grows. This process impacts land use, occupations, and development patterns in the fringe. Effective planning and management are needed to balance development with preservation of natural and cultural assets in the sensitive urban fringe environment.
Coastal water resources
This document discusses water resources and challenges in coastal areas. It notes that coastal areas have fragile resources and rely on water for many uses, but face problems with salty water that is unsuitable for drinking, agriculture, or aquatic life. The key issues are that coastal areas have high chloride levels that are harmful to humans and the environment, and fragile ecosystems that support important industries like fishing. Maintaining water quality and managing coastal hazards like storms and flooding will be important for sustaining communities and economies in these regions.
Rural Development
A rural area is defined as a geographic area outside of cities and towns that typically has a low population density and small settlements. Rural areas often involve agricultural uses and have ample open space between houses. The main objectives of rural development programs in the Philippines are to build infrastructure, improve health, education, living conditions, and generate employment opportunities through various initiatives like agrarian reform, cooperatives, and labor-intensive industries. Key government agencies overseeing rural development include the Cooperative Development Authority and programs focus on issues like nutrition, family planning, and rural electrification.
Effect of deforestation on tribal people
Deforestation negatively impacts tribal peoples in several ways. It destroys their homeland and traditional ways of life by affecting food and water sources. Tribal peoples rely on hunting and do not have modern technologies, so the loss of forests takes away their homes and means of survival without easy adaptation to urban lives. Deforestation also causes tribal peoples to lose their unique cultures, beliefs, knowledge, and abilities to live in harmony with the forest that their ancestors sustained for generations. While tribal peoples are historically effective stewards of the environment, deforestation threatens their rights and roles as natural guardians.
RURAL LIVELIHOOD AND ENVIORNMENTAL ISSUES
Rural livelihoods in India primarily consist of agricultural laborers, small-scale farmers, and farmers who supplement their income through other means. These livelihoods cause various environmental issues. Agricultural runoff pollutes water sources with fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in health issues. Burning of fields and use of biomass for cooking also contributes to air pollution. Environmental degradation occurs through overuse of resources, deforestation, overgrazing, and species extinction. These issues disproportionately impact rural areas due to close ties to the land and lack of infrastructure.
Types of destinations -CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY
Destinations that tourists visit can be divided into several types, including beach/coastal areas, islands, rural areas, and urban areas. Beach and coastal destinations offer natural beauty along the water and opportunities to see marine life. Islands have thriving tourism due to their natural beauty surrounded by water as well as water activities. Rural areas have a slower pace of life and access to nature, while urban areas are densely populated with modern infrastructure but fast-paced living.
Rural Tourism
Rural Tourism in India: Prospects and Impact
Rural tourism has the potential to benefit rural communities economically and socially. It can generate income and jobs for villagers, boost local handicrafts and culture, and help preserve the rural environment. However, rural tourism also faces challenges like a lack of capital, skills and coordination among stakeholders. If developed sustainably, it can reduce rural poverty and migration to cities while promoting cultural exchange and environmental conservation in Indian villages.

Upper Secondary Geography-Climatic types
The document describes three main climatic types: equatorial, monsoon, and cool temperate. Equatorial climate is located between 10°N and 10°S and is characterized by high temperatures, small temperature ranges, high humidity, heavy rainfall, and no distinct wet or dry seasons. Monsoon climate is located between 5°N-25°N and 5°S-25°S and has warmer temperatures than equatorial climates due to a less direct sun angle. Cool temperate climate occurs between 45°-60°N and 45°-60°S. Examples of locations for each climate type are provided.
Upper Secondary Chemistry-Rust
Acids and salts speed up the rate of rusting by increasing the concentration of ions, allowing more ion movement which causes iron to lose electrons faster and form iron oxide. Rusting can be prevented by applying a barrier like paint, oil, grease or electroplating between the metal and oxygen/water. Electroplating involves placing the plating metal as the anode and the metal to be plated as the cathode in an electrolyte solution. Common metals used for plating include tin, silver, nickel, chromium, zinc and gold.
Upper Secondary Geography-Groups of people affecting tourism
There are four main groups that can influence tourism: governments, media, international organizations, and travel writers. Governments have power over visitors by controlling entry/exit policies and developing tourism infrastructure. Media coverage of a location can encourage or discourage visitors by reporting positively or negatively on conditions. International bodies like the WHO provide advisories that impact travel. And travel writers influence readers through first-hand accounts and recommendations in publications and online.

Secondary 2 History-Singapore Tackling Challenges of Defense and Security
This document discusses Singapore's challenges with defense and security after gaining independence from Britain in 1971. It outlines how Singapore lacked experience building a strong military and faced a lack of public support for national service. To address these issues, the government established the Ministry of Interior and Defense, passed legislation in 1967 requiring all men to complete national service, and set up training programs and community outreach to gain support. These efforts helped Singapore develop the citizen's army model and strengthen its defense capabilities through cooperation with foreign partners.
Secondary 2 Geography-Measures to Reduce Ozone Depletion
The document outlines individual, national, and international efforts to reduce ozone depletion. It recommends that individuals avoid chlorofluorocarbon products, governments ban chlorofluorocarbon and encourage alternatives, and internationally the 1987 Montreal Protocol aimed to reduce then eliminate chlorofluorocarbon use by 2000 as agreed by the US and Europe.
Secondary 2 Geography-Ozone Depletion
The document discusses ozone depletion and its causes and consequences. It explains that ozone in the stratosphere protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation, but chlorofluorocarbons released into the atmosphere break down into chlorine which destroys ozone molecules. This causes the ozone layer to thin, leaving it unable to fully screen ultraviolet rays. If the ozone layer is depleted faster than it can recover, an "ozone hole" forms. The thinning ozone allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface, increasing health and environmental risks like skin cancer and disruption of marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Secondary 2 Geography-Global Warming
Global warming is caused by increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons being released into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to a 0.5°C increase in average global temperatures over the past 100 years. Consequences of global warming include rising sea levels from melting ice caps which threatens coastal populations, increased transmission of infectious diseases by insects, mass extinction of animal species unable to adapt, and disruption of weather patterns causing more extreme events like droughts and heat waves.
Secondary 2 History-Singapore Separating From Malaysia
Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965 for both economic and political reasons. Economically, Malaysia imposed tariffs on Singapore's goods and treated Singapore as an economic rival. Politically, the two countries had different approaches to forming political parties along racial lines versus being multiracial. Racial tensions rose and riots broke out in 1964. The Prime Minister of Malaysia decided that separation was the best solution to prevent further conflict. On August 9, 1965, Lee Kuan Yew announced that Singapore had gained independence after separating from Malaysia.
