In which year did the world's urban population first exceed its rural population?
2007, according to the UN. Before that most people lived in rural settlements; since then the urban population has grown faster than the rural population.
In 1950 about 70 per cent of people were rural. The UN expects the world's rural population to peak and then fall, so the gap should keep widening. The crossover is a milestone, not a sudden change.
Where in the UK are large areas of slate and schist found?
Slate is found in Snowdonia in north Wales and in the Lake District. Schist makes up much of the Scottish Highlands, including the Grampians.
These rocks resist erosion strongly, so they hold up steep, rugged mountain scenery. Welsh slate was quarried on a huge scale for roofing, so the quarries and spoil tips are themselves a human mark on the upland landscape.
Why are coal, oil and natural gas classed as non-renewable?
They are finite stocks that formed from buried organic matter over millions of years, so they are being used far faster than they could ever be replaced.
A stock can only be drawn down. Finding new reserves does not add to the total amount of fuel in the crust; it only moves some of it from the undiscovered column into the usable one.
