Task 1 (Graph)
The two maps
below show the changes to Melvin Island between 2000 and 2010. Summarize the
information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons
where relevant.
The
maps below show the redevelopment of Melvin Island over a decade starting from
the year 2000.
Overall,
though a significant area of woodland in the island was cleared, many
modifications were made in the island in the given period.
To
begin with, the motel situated in the northwest part of the island in 2000 was
remodeled into a hotel by 2010. Similarly, the garages which were present near
the motel were demolished and chalets were built in its place in 2010. The
farmland on the western part of Melvin Island and the village in the southern
region remained untouched throughout the period. In 2010, a seafood restaurant
was constructed to replace the tearooms which were present in 2000.
The
area occupied by woodland in 2000 underwent noticeable transformation by the
year 2010 wherein the woodland located on the northern part of the island was converted
into a golf course and that in the eastern region was cut down to half and the
remaining half on the southeast was cleared to pave way for the airport. As a
part of redevelopment, a swimming pool and spa were added to the island utilizing
the area of farmland located in the central part of Melvin Island by 2010.
Interestingly, another new addition made to the island in 2010 was a Marina in its
southern part.
