1. Economic Connections Industry & Energy

2. Industry What kinds of industry exist? What kinds of industry exist? What kinds of industry exist? What kinds of industry exist?

4. So…. PRIMARY INDUSTRY = “resource economy” PRIMARY INDUSTRY = “resource economy” SECONDARY INDUSTRY = “manufacturing economy” SECONDARY INDUSTRY = “manufacturing economy” TERTIARY INDUSTRY = “service economy” TERTIARY INDUSTRY = “service economy” QUARTENARY INDUSTRY = “knowledge economy” QUARTENARY INDUSTRY = “knowledge economy”

8. “I’ve heard Canada’s oil is different somehow…”

9. Canada’s Oil Sands Mix of sand, clay, water and bitumen. Mix of sand, clay, water and bitumen. Bitumen is a very heavy crude oil that is so viscous and thick that it cannot flow on its own. To pump it, it must be diluted and heated. Bitumen is a very heavy crude oil that is so viscous and thick that it cannot flow on its own. To pump it, it must be diluted and heated. Located in the Athabasca, Peace River and Cold Lake areas of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan Located in the Athabasca, Peace River and Cold Lake areas of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan Formed when each grain of sand is surrounded by a layer of water and a film of bitumen. Formed when each grain of sand is surrounded by a layer of water and a film of bitumen.

13. Natural Resources and Energy

14. Questions, questions, questions What is energy? What is energy? Energy is power. How do you get power? Power comes from resources, either physical (oil, gas, water) or chemical (nuclear).

15. Questions, questions, questions What is electricity? What is electricity? Electricity refers to a form of power; or the supply itself.

16. Questions, questions, questions How is energy produced? How is energy produced? In Canada, it is mainly produced by: -Fossil Fuels -Hydro-Nuclear

17. Each province relies on a different source of energy

19. Canadians Consume Lots of Energy

21. Why does Canada use a great deal of energy? High cost of transportation due to the country’s huge distances High cost of transportation due to the country’s huge distances Many Canadians drive vehicles, especially SUVs and light trucks Many Canadians drive vehicles, especially SUVs and light trucks Climate variations – cold winters (heating) and hot summers (air conditioning) Climate variations – cold winters (heating) and hot summers (air conditioning) High tech industries such as auto manufacturers, pulp and paper mills and petroleum refineries High tech industries such as auto manufacturers, pulp and paper mills and petroleum refineries Energy is relatively inexpensive so Canadians are wasteful in their usage Energy is relatively inexpensive so Canadians are wasteful in their usage

22. Homework! You will NEED to be able to identify BENEFITS and DRAWBACKS of Canada’s main sources of energy for the: Oil Oil Hydro Hydro Nuclear Nuclear Coal Coal Natural Gas Natural Gas Use Chapter 25 in Making Connections, or online research.
