Challenges posed by population grothv

Answer 1

Over next 30 years uk pop to increase by 15%

Pop growth will lead to a high demand for houses food, this may lead to strain on Uk resources as deamnd is too high and overweighs the supply. In addition as pop grows demand for coal and oil increases this increases pollution. Gas is projected to decrease .

Cause destruction of habitats because renewable energy sources take lits of space

Strain nservices

Question 2

Factors which could make population projections unreliable

Answer 2

Pandemics- lead to fatalities
People having lots of children
Incorrect assumptions about fertility and morality
Migration volume changes

Incorrect or slightly inorrect starting data

Question 4

Stresses pop growth leads to

Answer 4

Housing- reasons:
People staying single for longer
Divorce
Living longer
Natural increase

Question 5

Demands that will put pressure on UK ecosystems

Answer 5

•Increased demand for Energy- As UK invests in renewable energy , our natural landscape will changed as wind turbines and solar farms are built . This will affect areas if high altitude (heartland and moorland) but also marine eco stems

•Increased dreamland for hosuing- Destrous open spaces+ habitats destroyed due to increased surface run off and erosion due to impermeable surfaces preventing drainage

•Demand for food- water resources- puts pressure on local water systems due to increased consumption. More ares need built for food + water e.g farms and water storage=destroys habitats

•Increased waste- need more landfill sites
Meghan gas produce from decomposition- explosive+ dangerous
•Incineration + gases released Whig may cause air pollution = acid rain
Wastes energy+ money throwing things away

Question 6

Green field V brownfield

Answer 6

-Brownfield-
Pros
Found in urban areas so reduces demand on car use
•Services: water, electric, gas already in place
•Uses unslightly ares+ redevelops them; improves the urban environment

•reduces urban sprawl as site had been previously developed

Cons
Close to poor quality hosing (may not appeal to wealthy people)
•Old buildings have to be cleared + land cleaned of pollution

Greenfield

Pros
•Healthier environment
•Cheaper + quicker to build on

Cons
Wildlife+ habitats lost or disturbed
Reduces area of farm+countryside
Encourage urban sprawl, so not encouraged by environmentalists
Often far from work + services Generating traffic

Question 7

Greenbelt

Answer 7

Heavily protected land circling an area to prevent urban sprwwll

Question 8

Greenfield sites

Answer 21

Sustainability is the practice of using natural resources responsibly, so they can support both present and future generations.

Question 22

Sustainable transpornt(in detail )

Answer 22

Challenges

1. Emissions leading to global warming come from energy consumption e.g 33% of electrify , 28% transport , 20% neutral of consumption
2. Local (road side) air pollution impacting on health e.g London7.3-8.3% deaths due to air pollution

4 solutions - London
•London underground - extension of Jubilee line has encouraged more people to use public transport
•Oyster cars - integrated travel payment method , people can gain access to rapport quickly

•Encoruaging styling - bike sharing some - hire bike for £2 for short journeys- horse bike s

•Congestion charges- private vehicles pay to access CBD to reduce pollution levels . £11.50 between 7am and 6pm Monday-Friday

•Car sharing

Impacts on people
Frequent heatwaves puts pressure on NHS
Annual cost of damages rises from £2bn to £12 bn by 2080
•CLimate chance means regress migrate to Europe

Less rainfall + exportation threatens water security
•Drought will affect food production

Impacts on environment
Flash floods
Sea levels rising
Not native species arrive
Warmer drier summer increases risk of drought
Ecosystems will gave to at or plant or animal species may die out

Question 27

Two speed economies in detail

Answer 27

Two speed economy refers to jobs and hours e prices rising faster and higher now in London and the south est of England than the rest of thr Uk

Causes
