Stage 3
BOLTSS?
Border, orientation, legend, title, source, scale
A person forced to leave their home because of environmental changes caused by climate change.
What is a climate refugee?
Explain one physical/environmental impact of rising sea levels
Coastal Erosion
1.Higher sea levels intensify wave action and storm surges, accelerating the erosion of beaches, dunes, and cliffs.
2.Sandy beaches may recede inland, permanently altering coastlines.
Flooding and Inundation
1.Low-lying areas face more frequent and severe tidal flooding.
2.Permanent inundation of some regions is expected, especially near estuaries and river mouths.
Saltwater Intrusion
1. Saltwater can seep into freshwater aquifers, contaminating drinking water and harming agriculture.
Habitat Loss
1.Wetlands, mangroves, and coastal ecosystems may be submerged or degraded.
2.This threatens biodiversity and disrupts breeding grounds for marine life.
What are concepts are we considering when thinking about where to place countries on the Demographic transition model
Birth rate, death rate, natural increase
HDI?
Human Development Index
Define enhanced greenhouse effect and explain why this is an issue?
The process where gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, keeping Earth warm but enhanced is increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change
List 3 reasons why Indigenous peoples are disadvantaged in Australia
displacement, discrimination, dispossession
name an explain and human/infrastructure impact of rising sea levels
Damage to Infrastructure
1.Roads, buildings, and sewage systems near the coast are at risk from flooding and erosion.
2.Insurance costs and maintenance burdens are rising in vulnerable areas.
Displacement and Social Stress
1. Communities may be forced to relocate, a process known as “managed retreat,” which is often controversial and emotionally difficult.
Economic Disruption
1. Tourism, fisheries, and coastal industries may suffer due to environmental degradation and infrastructure loss
