Source Analysis

Location of the world’s largest cities source one

 1. Which continent has the most megacities?
 The continent that has the megacities is Asia with thirteen.
2. How would you describe the pattern in the distribution of the world’s largest cities?
 Most of them tend to be on the coast where equipment and martials can get shipped out.
3. What reasons could you give to explain why Australia does not have any of the world’s largest cities?
 The reason that I could give is that Australia did not have a lot of people in the major cities when the map
was made.

What are the main factors influencing population distribution?

Climate

Climate influences population distribution by climate change, where some places could be hot, and some could be
cold.

Migration

The population is affected by migration due to people moving in and out of a city, town, or rural area.

Other services and amenities (such as) give examples.

Looking at the map above, describe Australia’s Population Distribution

 Most people are living in the major cities of Australia that are on the east coast those cities have a
vast range of shops, houses, and tourist destination. Little people live in the remote areas due to it
being so inland there are little supplies, shops. Alice springs, mount isa and the northwest coast are
the only main remote areas. The furthest outer regional areas from the major cities are Kalgoorlie
which is 6 hours and 43 minutes form Perth and broken hill which is 5 hours and 53 minutes from
Adelaide.
Describe the consequences of large-scale urbanisation (give examples where possible)
 It depends on how big it is. If it over 1 million people is can destroy the economy if it is under 1000 it wont
be that bad but it will be bad
