03 Geography
Lack of extremes


Climate
+/- the same amount of rain in Belgium

Mild climate (not a lot of snow)

“Britain doesn’t have a climate, it only has weather”

Bad reputation => people talking about the weather a lot


Land and settlement
Landscape = variety

South and east: low lying (flat plains / rolling hills)
North and west: Mountainous areas

People like the countryside. 80% lives in villages


The environment and pollution
Smog (!!)
Laws => Now solved

Renewable energy sources

Britain under attack
Global warming => Rising sea levels => Low-lying areas are threatened

North, west and south coasts: waves of the Atlantic are getting taller => More force => Strip sand form
beaches, undermine cliffs and damage coastal defences

East coast: Sinking away! (south-east corner tilts downwards)

London: In special danger => Tidal surges along the River Thames
Disaster: Flood in Thames Estuary (300 dead) => “What if it had reached London??” => construction of
Thames Barrier (has now protected London from flooding 3 times)
