Coastal Management
This natural process occurs when waves wear away and remove material from the coastline.
Erosion

Lack of access to food, housing, healthcare and education is commonly associated with this condition.

This index combines measures of life expectancy, education and income to compare wellbeing between countries.

This term describes the number of people living in a given area.
Population density
Rapid urban population growth can increase pressure on housing, roads and public transport. These are examples of pressure on this.
Infrastructure
This is the capital city of Vietnam.
Hanoi
Dune rehabilitation is considered sustainable because it works with natural coastal processes rather than completely blocking them. This makes it an example of this approach.
Soft engineering
Case study: A remote Indigenous community has lower life expectancy, limited access to healthcare, fewer employment opportunities and lower average incomes than people living in a major Australian city.
Jeopardy clue: These differences in access to services, employment and health outcomes demonstrate this geographical pattern in human wellbeing.
Spatial inequality
This term describes the difference in height between the highest and lowest point in an area.

A rural town loses many young adults to a major city, resulting in fewer workers and an ageing population. This demonstrates this impact of migration on the country or region of origin.
Demographic change
This landlocked Asian country is located between Russia and China and has Ulaanbaatar as its capital.

A beach receives sediment from rivers and offshore sources, while waves and longshore drift transport sediment in and out. Because both energy and matter cross its boundaries, the coastal environment is described as this.
An open system
A country may have a high average income but still experience low wellbeing if wealth is distributed very unevenly. This measure can be used to assess that inequality.
What is the Gini coefficient?
A place located at approximately 0° latitude would generally experience this type of climate because it receives high levels of solar radiation throughout the year.
Equatorial or tropical climate
Lightning bolt: -300 points from all teams except yours.
Rapid population growth causes a city to spread beyond its existing boundaries, replacing farmland and natural vegetation with housing developments. This combines urbanisation with this process.
