YOUR QUESTIONS
1 Why might the people of the Maldives become environmental
refugees?
2 Describe and explain how rising sea levels are related to global
warming.
On this spread youll learn about rising sea levels, and how this is going
to affect people living in coastal zones.
7.7Rising sea levels in the Maldives
The Maldives government makes a point
Tourist paradise but for how long? One of the many
islands in the Maldives.
Whats happening?
Sea levels are rising and islands in the Pacific Ocean are already beginning to
disappear. Scientists have suggested that sea levels are rising as a result of global
warming, and will continue to do so for the rest of this century. But they dont know
by how much estimates range from 30 cm to 1.4 m.
As average global temperatures continue to rise, the:
polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers around the world are melting, leading to
more water in the sea
water in the sea gets warmer and, as it does, it expands
... and thats whats causing rising sea levels.
What will the affects be on the Maldives?
As sea levels rise, both people and the environment will be affected.
Coral reefs will die as theyre bleached and the water gets deeper.
The ecosystem associated with the reefs will be lost.
People will be forced to leave their homes and possibly become environmental
refugees. The total population is about 400 000.
The traditional way of life will be lost.
In an economy dependent on tourism, rising sea levels could put an end to the
tourist industry and bankrupt the country.
... and, of course, the whole country might actually disappear underwater!
The Maldives contribution to global warming is small, yet its suffering the worst
consequences. It will need international help to cope with the impacts.
MPs meet underwater!
The government of the Maldives held an underwater
cabinet meeting in October 2009. W hy? To show
the world the threat they faced from global warming.
President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet signed adocument calling for global cuts in carbon emissions.
The government of the Maldives says that the country
will almost certainly be completely underwater if sea
levels rise as predicted.
President Nasheeds plan is to buy a new homeland
for his people perhaps in India or Sri Lanka using
money from tourism, in case the entire population is
forced to become environmental refugees.
The Maldives
The Maldives is a small country, made up of over 1000
islands in the Indian Ocean. Its the lowest country in
the world with its highest point only 2.4 metres above
sea level.
The islands stunning scenery, clear blue tropical
seas and white beaches make them an ideal holiday
location. Tourism is very important to the Maldives
economy providing almost 60% of its GDP.
Environmental refugees are people forced to move
away from their home area because of changes in
environmental or climatic conditions, such as drought,
flooding, deforestation.
Dhaka, the capital of
Bangladesh, is used to
flooding during the monsoon
season. But the city, like
most of the country, is very
low-lying and could be
under even greater risk from
rising sea levels. Dhaka
has a population of about
13 million and the fastest
population growth of any city
in the world.
your planet
A one-metre rise in sea
level worldwide woulddisplace about 100 million
people in Asia; 14 million in
Europe; and eight million
each in Africa and
South America.
your planet
One in ten people
worldwide live less
than 10 metres above
sea level and near
the coast.
And elsewhere ?
For people living near the coast and in low-lying
areas rising sea levels could be catastrophic if land is
permanently flooded on a massive scale. Places at risk
include:
many small islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans
The Netherlands, where 27% of the land is belowsea level
Bangladesh, a very low-lying country with a
population of 156 million
cities like London, New York and Shanghai, which
would have to spend billions on flood defences
The Fens and Essex in eastern England.
3 Draw up a table with four columns headed Economic, Social, Political,
Environmental. Classify the impacts of rising sea levels on the
Maldives under each heading.
Hint:Classify means you have to sort them into the right category
economic, social and so on.

7.7 Rising sea levels in the Maldives
73
7 THE COASTAL ZONE
1 At the simplest level: The people of the Maldives
might become environmental refugees because the
islands could be completely drowned by rising sea
levels. Stronger answers might include: definition
and/or understanding of environmental refugees
and how it might apply to the people of the Maldives;
the link between the threat to the Maldives and
global warming; the low-lying geography of the
Maldives.
In brief
Students learn about rising sea levels the causes and potential impacts, with
specific reference to the vulnerable Maldives.
In the activities, students:
Key ideas
rise estimates range from 30 cm to 1.4 m.
by rising sea levels.
risk.
Key vocabulary
sea level rise, global warming, environmental refugees
Skills practised
Geographical skills: using evidence (q.1); linking cause and impact (q.1 and q.2);
classifying impacts (q.3)
Literacy:
PLTS: reflective learning (q.1 and q.2)
Learning outcomes
By the end of this section, most students should be able to:

Answers, in Word.
Lesson plan for this spread,
with these resources already
attached for you to edit andadapt.
Ideas for a starter
1 Introduce the following facts to your class: more than 50% of the worlds
population lives within 60 km of the coast; many of the worlds poor are crowdedinto low-lying coastal areas. Get students thinking about what might happen if sea
levels rise.
2 With the student book shut, ask students what they know about the Maldives.
Ideas for plenaries
1 Question 3 from the student book. Show the table on the board, and complete it
as a whole-class activity.
2 Tell students to imagine they live in the Maldives. Ask: How do they feel? How do
they view their future? Are they angry? If so, who with? If not, why not? Would theybe happy to move to a new homeland?
Further class and homework activity
Ask students to do further research on either the Maldives or another location
vulnerable to rising sea levels, and to make brief case study notes, perhaps under thefollowing headings: Location; Basic physical geography; Basic human geography;
Whats happening; Causes; Impacts; Possible responses and/or solutions.
The impacts of rising sea levels on the Maldives
Economic Social Political Environmental
Tourist industry will be
damaged, and maybe ruined
People will be forced to leave their
homes
The Maldives will need international
help
The coral reefs will die
People will lose their jobs Many people could become
environmental refugees
The country might buy a new
homeland in another country
The coral reef ecosystem will
be lost
Economy will be damaged
country might go bankrupt
The traditional way of life will be
lost
The whole country might
disappear underwater
2 As average global temperatures rise (i) the polar ice
sheets and mountain glaciers around the world are
melting, leading to more water in the sea (ii) water in
therefore gets deeper.

6.5 NATURAL HAZARDS
ACTIVITIES
On this spread you will learn why an earthquake hit Haiti and what the
impacts were.Why was this disaster so severe?
Haiti has had earthquakes before, but the epicentre of this one was very close
to the capital. It was also a shallow earthquake and a big one magnitude 7.0
on the Richter scale. Because it happened close to the surface the shaking was
more violent. The buildings in Haiti were weak and not built to withstand a strong
earthquake.
A major reason why millions of people suffered is because Haiti is an LEDC. Huge
sums of money had already been spent rebuilding after Hurricanes Gustav, Hanna
and Ike caused 800 deaths in 2008. There simply werent the resources to be well
prepared.
The world responds
Haitis president quickly issued a desperate plea to world leaders,
asking them to send money and supplies. Governments, celebrities
and members of the public rallied round to help the victims:
Haitis response
Because they lacked money and equipment, the people of Haiti were
very limited in how they could help after the earthquake. They could:
A city destroyed

called off ten days later. Darlene Etienne was one of
the lucky ones.

Figure 1.8 Examining a rivers discharge
The average discharge of the River Amazon is 219 000 m3/sec. By
comparison, the discharge of the River Nile is 2830 m3/sec, and the River
Thames is just 65.8 m 3/sec. 1 m3/sec is roughly equivalent in weight to a
medium-sized family car!

Factor Afect on river discharge
Distance downstreamIn humid environments, such as the UK, river discharge increases with distance downstream. The main
reason or this is the addition o water to the river channel as smaller tributaries join the main river.
Climatic characteristics
River discharge usually refects precipitation, both in terms o its amount and its seasonal pattern. Snowall
results in a time delay, because the water is stored until the snow melts. When it melts, there is a surge in
discharge. Other aspects o the climate, such as temperature, are important in aecting evaporation rates
and vegetation growth.
Land use
Aorestation (tree planting) tends to reduce the discharge and make it more constant. Urbanisation oten
increases the discharge, because water is transerred rapidly over impermeable suraces, such as tarmac
and concrete and through pipes and sewers.
Water abstraction (removal)The abstraction o water or domestic use and the irrigation o crops reduces discharge. This can be
seasonal, with a greater demand or water in the summer months.
Channel modications
Constructing a reservoir regulates the discharge and makes it more constant. The river channel itsel might
also be modied to reduce the food risk, e.g. channel straightening and enlargement tend to increase
discharge, while river restoration and the creation o food storage areas can reduce discharge because
they encourage small-scale fooding in a rivers headwaters.

THE COASTAL ZONE
NIndia
India
On this spread youll learn about rising sea levels, and how this is going
to affect people living in coastal zones.
7.7Rising sea levels in the Maldives
The Maldives government makes a point
Tourist paradise but for how long? One of the many
islands in the Maldives.
Whats happening?
Sea levels are rising and islands in the Pacific Ocean are already beginning to
disappear. Scientists have suggested that sea levels are rising as a result of global
warming, and will continue to do so for the rest of this century. But they dont know
by how much estimates range from 30 cm to 1.4 m.
As average global temperatures continue to rise, the:
polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers around the world are melting, leading to
more water in the sea
water in the sea gets warmer and, as it does, it expands
... and thats whats causing rising sea levels.
What will the affects be on the Maldives?
As sea levels rise, both people and the environment will be affected.
Coral reefs will die as theyre bleached and the water gets deeper.
The ecosystem associated with the reefs will be lost.
People will be forced to leave their homes and possibly become environmental
refugees. The total population is about 400 000.
The traditional way of life will be lost.
In an economy dependent on tourism, rising sea levels could put an e nd to the
tourist industry and bankrupt the country.
... and, of course, the whole country might actually disappear underwater!
The Maldives contribution to global warming is small, yet its suffering the worstconsequences. It will need international help to cope with the impacts.
MPs meet underwater!
The government of the Maldives held an underwater
cabinet meeting in October 2009. Why? To show
the world the threat they faced from global warming.
President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet signed a
document calling for global cuts in carbon emissions.
The government of the Maldives says that the country
will almost certainly be completely underwater if sea
levels rise as predicted.
President Nasheeds plan is to buy a new homeland
for his people perhaps in India or Sri Lanka using
money from tourism, in case the entire population is
forced to become environmental refugees.
The Maldives
The Maldives is a small country, made up of over 1000
islands in the Indian Ocean. Its the lowest country in
the world with its highest point only 2.4 metres above
sea level.
The islands stunning scenery, clear blue tropical
seas and white beaches make them an ideal holiday
location. Tourism is very important to the Maldives
economy providing almost 60% of its GDP.
Environmental refugees are people forced to move
away from their home area because of changes in
environmental or climatic conditions, such as drought,
flooding, deforestation.
Dhaka, the capital of
Bangladesh, is used to
flooding during the monsoon
season. But the city, like
most of the country, is very
low-lying and could be
under even greater risk from
rising sea levels. Dhaka
has a population of about
13 million and the fastest
population growth of any cityin the world.
your planet
A one-metre rise in sea
level worldwide would
displace about 100 million
people in Asia; 14 million in
Europe; and eight million
each in Africa and
South America.
your planet
One in ten people
worldwide live less
than 10 metres above
sea level and near
the coast.
