How have energy resources and technology changed over time How have energy resources and technology changed over time? What are the effects of using these resources?

Describe how these resources have changed over time. Wood Past Present Heating Housing Furniture All shipbuilding crafts

Effects that arise from using the resource Wood Positive Negative Used for housing furniture Deforestation Burning wood pollutes

Describe how these resources have changed over time. Coal Past Present Heating Power for machines (trains, engines) Power for electricity Roofing shingles Concrete mixture Manufacturing purposes and household materials

Effects that arise from using the resource Coal Positive Negative Provides jobs Pollution Mining problems Health concerns (black lung)

Describe how these resources have changed over time. Petroleum Past Present Fuel machine Used in soaps Fuel for machines Plastics: Dyes, paint, soft contact lenses, false teeth, artificial limbs, drinking cups, vitamin capsules, insect repellent

Effects that arise from using the resource Petroleum Positive Negative Provides jobs Fuels most machinery Pollution Limited Resource Conflicts (Wars)

Describe how these resources have changed over time. Nuclear Past Present power Produce electricity Power ships and submarines weapons

Effects that arise from using the resource Nuclear Positive Negative Cheap Unlimited supply Toxic Waste Contamination

Effects that arise from using the resource Solar, wind Positive Negative Cheap Unlimited supply Clean Not perfected Not always efficient

Match the effect to the Resource (multiple answers) composition books. Coal Nuclear Petroleum Solar Wood Deforestation Mining Accidents Plastics Contamination Renewable Not Perfected Creates Jobs Toxic Waste Oil

Bridge Focus: Composition Books 11/11 Define and give an example for each of the following levels of economic activity: Primary Secondary Tertiary Quatenary

What are some effects of unequal distribution of resources?

Effects of unequal distribution of resources Interdependence of nations, relying on each other by trading in goods, services & capital resources (See vocabulary) Uneven economic development: some countries are more developed than others Energy producers & consumers: countries that make energy vs. those that use it (USA consumes energy)

Effects of unequal distribution of resources Imperialism – taking over weaker countries for the use of resources Conflict over control of resources – Wars started because of need for resources (water, oil, arable land)

How do resources influence economic activities and land use?

Patterns of land use Economic activities Land uses: Requiring extensive (greater) land (e.g. agriculture) vs. limited area (e.g. manufacturing) Land uses: Compatible land(open spaces & residential) vs. incompatible (e.g. landfills & residential)

How and why do different cultures develop different perspectives on the use of resources?

The use of a resource depends on a nation’s culture, values, access to technology & governmental priorities as they change over time.

Social & economic priorities that influence a culture’s perspective on resources Economic development priorities Environmental conservation priorities Priorities of indigenous minorities

Economic Development Priorities Countries use their resources according to how developed they are and need. For example: The USA doesn’t use all of its oil reserves because they are nonrenewable and the USA can use other resources.

Environmental Conservation Policies A country’s policies on the environment affect how much of a resource the country uses For example: Certain areas are sectioned off as wildlife reserves or natural parks, and cannot be used for resources (such as drilling for oil)

Priorities of Indigenous Minorities Indigenous people are sometimes allowed to use resources that others may not For example: The Inuit are allowed to hunt for certain types whales (despite being endangered) because it is part of their culture. This is allowed because indigenous people make up a small percentage of the population.

What are examples of technologies that have created demand for particular resources?

Examples of technologies that have created demand for particular resources Steam engine: demand for coal Internal combustion engine (cars & trucks): demand for gasoline (oil) Computer chips: demand for skilled labor & metals

Generally, what are the costs and benefits of using resources?

Costs Resource depletion Environmental degradation – harming the environment (especially fresh water supplies) Health problems

Benefits Production of goods & services Employment opportunities Development of technologies
