The topic is energy use in China.

- 2 video's to watch

- 11 questions to answer

- 2 slides to read

Goal: practicing with reading and understanding graphs and information about energy in China

Repeating the last chapter: how and where does oil and gas form?

Analyse the cross-section:

What is in the ground on places 1, 2, 3 and 4?

Water

Oil

Rock

Gas

All the green circles show potential oil fields in China.

Oil forms on land and on the continental shelve (the shallow ocean)

Video: energy sources of china:

Which of these energy sources are mentioned and shown in the video?

mentioned in video

Not mentioned in the video

Hydropower

Coal

Natural gas

Wind energy

Solar power

Nuclear power

Oil

Biofuel

Why does China produce and consume so much energy?

1. Because of the large population
2. Because it is always cold in China
3. Because of the large industries
4. Because they are wasting most energy

Study these figures on page 137 of your workbook. You will answer questions about them in the following slides

Look at figure 4. Which sources of energy provide

70%, 19% and 6% of China's energy consumption?

Put the correct energy source and image in the 3 boxes on the graph.

Coal

Hydro-power

Oil

What is most of the coal in China used for?

1. Generating heat for homes
2. Generating electricity
3. Burning for barbeques and bombfires
4. For export

Write down a the-the sentence showing the relation between the words coal and CO2

(example of a the-the sentence: the more I learn, the better my report)

For the following question, you need these figures (page 137 in WB). Look closely at:

- the title,

the key (legenda)

- the x and y-axis (what do they show?)

The questions will be:

- In what year did China first become an importer of oil?

- In what year did China first become an importer of coal?

In what year did China first become an importer of oil?

In what year did China first become an importer of coal?

Use figure 5 (from your workbook) Why is China importing more and more coal?

1. The demand for coal is exceeding the national production
2. China's coal deposits are exhausted
3. The price of coal is very cheap, so they are looking for a bargain
4. They are looking to strengthen their relations with coal producing countries

Look at the graph.

China is importing coal mainly from two countries. Why these 2?

Explain why China is importing coal mainly from Indonesia and Australia.

China has a lot of resources, but it is not enough to support their industry and population

Solution: they import resources like coal and oil from Australia, Africa, Middle East and the US

Conclusion

China uses mostly coal to produce electricity. They are looking for more alternatives, because it is not enough.
