California Major Landforms
My House

Population of Bay Area = 7.15 million
Population of Novato = 52,311 (2009)
Population Change in Novato
Population growth has environmental effects because it demands a need for more houses and other buildings in order to support more people. Because of this, many plants and habitats are destroyed to make room for these houses. Where I live, Hamilton, used to be large marsh lands. They were filled in in order to build houses, and the area is now a suburban one. However, efforts are now being made to restore the marsh. In the time I've been living there, I've seen a large quantity of frogs killed. They used to be around everywhere at night when their homes were destroyed, and now they are nowhere to be found.
