21. What are some effects of unequal distribution of resources?

22. 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)

23. 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)

24. How do resources influence economic activities and land use?

25. 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)

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

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

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

29. 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.

30. 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)

31. 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.

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

33. 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

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

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

36. Benefits Production of goods & services Employment opportunities
Development of technologies
