CHINA

is changing

What's the plan for today?

Finish C5.1: China: population and space.

The Köppen Climate-system

LAST LESSONS GOALS

1. You are able to calculate the population density of an area.
2. You are able to analyse and interpret population charts (G142).
3. You can explain why the population of China is unevenly distributed in relation to relief and climate.

You are able to calculate the population density of an area.

... / ... = inh/km²

FRANCE

INH: 63.000.000 inh

KM²: 551.000 km²

FRANCE

63.000.000 inh / 551.000 km²

= 114.3 inh/km²

Population growth in China

Extremely fast growing population

To read the population of a country we use a population chart.

Which information can I get from a population chart?

3 population charts

CHECK 6, 7 & 8

Open your

notebook

and draw

China -->

Population and space

UNEVEN POPULATION DISTRIBUTION

Write down 1 reason for the uneven population distribution in China by using figure 1.

UNEVEN POPULATION DISTRIBUTION

Write down 1 reason for the uneven population distribution in China by using figure 2.

Topography of China

3 cities --> Beijing, Shanghai and Hongkong

3 rivers --> Yellow river (Huang He), Chang Jiang (Yangtze) and 

                        Xi-Jiang

DO EXERCISES

6, 7 and 8

TODAYS GOAL

1. You are able to classify a climate chart with 2 letters (recalling Köppen) (G64).
2. You are able to name the 6 climates that occur in China.
3. You are able to name the meaning of the letters s, w  & f.
4. You can explain how to read a climate chart.

Draw

a map of the world

Climates around the world

The world is devided in 5 main climates:

• Tropical climates (A)
• Dry climates (B)
• Maritime climates (C)
• Continental climates (D)
• Polar climates (E)

These climates also have their "subclimates".

Take page 48-49 in front of you (GeoGuide).

Write down how you can separate the climates from each other for each climate. (A, B, C, D & E)

Write down the meaning of s, f & w.

Make exercises 3 + 4 + 5
