The Shrinking world
What: How have political, technological and physical processes influenced global interactions
Why: To understand how processes that influence spatial interactions are interlinked in complex ways that accelerate globalization
How: By understanding how transport and communication developments have accelerated global interactions

Investigatethe relative changes (history and development) of your allocated transport method:
OCEAN
AIR
Include
A timeline of developments in technology and availability
Examples of geographical locations
Changes in capacity
Changes in speed
What are the future possibilities?
Geographical advantages and barriers.
Explain how their development links to the space-time convergence and reduced friction of distance

Air transport
Produce a timeline showing the advances in air travel and link it to a shrinking world. You should also include some 'possibilities'. Include at least the following:
first powered flight | first commercial flight across the Atlantic | first 'round the world' commercial flight | first 'round the world' non-stop flight | Zeppelins | first commercial passenger jet | de Havilland Comet | Concorde | Boeing 747 | Airbus A380 | dates for these events | durations for this events.

Assessment:
Using examples, explain how transport developments over time have lead to a shrinking world. [12]
Explain how air transport increased its speed and capacity over time. [12 marks]
Communications infrastructure
What:
- Our “shrinking world” and the forces driving technological innovation:
