Mineral extraction in the Netherlands

PIF (Personal Idom File)

Mineral extraction = delfstofwinning

Peat = veen

excavation = winnen

quarries = dagbouw

shafts= schachtbouw

Goals

• You know which minerals are found in the Netherlands
• You understand why the Netherlands has minerals.
• You know the consequences of minerals extraction for the landscape, nature and people
• Peat, lignite, coal and natural gas

.

Peat extraction

Difference between peatlands above and below waterlevel: 

Above waterlevel is mostly restored ( Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel

Below sealevel couln't be restored the results are lakes and puddles ( examples Vinkeveense plassen, Reeuwijkse plassen, Loosdrechtse plassen)

Transport of the peat via canals

Check test 

• Reproductie (R): vragen die kunnen worden beantwoord op basis van uit het hoofd geleerde lesstof.

• Toepassing 1 (T1): vragen die gericht zijn op het toepassen van de leerstof in bekende (geoefende) situaties.

• Toepassing 2 (T2): vragen die gericht zijn op het toepassen van de leerstof in nieuwe situaties.

• Inzicht (I): vragen waarbij de leerling zelf de context en methode moet construeren om tot een antwoord te komen.

Question 1 R / 2 points

A. 1. Natural resource: products from nature that humans use on a daily basis

B. 2. Mineral resources are natural resources extracted from the ground

C. 3. Biotic resources: obtained from the biosphere and include all living and organic materials, as well as the materials that can be obtained from from them. Fossil fuels are also included in this resource.

D. 4. Are formed slowly and cannot keep up with the consumption. Examples are fossil fuels and minerals.

Question 2 T2 / 2 points

Decrease, less materials is needed, less fossil fuels are needed no transport is necessary, and you consume less products Answers are diverse!

Question 3 R / 2 points

Exceeding the carrying capacity means that we use more of the resources over a long period of time. The maximum population or use of resources an ecosystem can support is called carrying capacity. If a population exceeds carrying capacity, the eco- system may become unsuitable for the species to survive.

Question 4 T1 / 2 points

You can reduce your electric consumption by :

- Switch off lights and electric appliances when not using them

- Use led-lights

- Manage your heating and cooling

- Use solar energy

- Don’t use a lot of electric kitchentools

- Insulate your house/roof

Question 5 R / 3 points 

To make paper you need the raw material a tree, the wood of the tree takes care of 90% of the woodfiber (pulp, shredded paper) what is the papermaking material. After you have the paper, which is a semi-manufactured product, you need to print maps on it. You also need al kind of colors of inkt. After collecting all the different maps you are going to put them together in a booklet, and your atlas is finished. The atlas is the final product which you can sell in the stores. 

Question 6 T1 / 3 points

1. A pig is biotic and renewable

2. Water is abiotic renewable

3. A banana is biotic and renewable

4. Coal is abiotic and non-renewable

5. Air is abiotic and renewable

6. Wood is biotic and renewable

Question 7 T2 / 2 points

 A D C F B E

Question 8 R / 2 points

 There is no difference in the organic matter but natural gas undergoes a different transformation process.

Natural gas can also be formed from the decomposition of organic matter in ancient coal deposits and shale formations.

Question 9 I / 2 points

The war increases pressure in the global trade market for oil. They are afraid of disruption of the supply of oil from Russia. Also Ukraine strikes Russian oil references what can lead to shortage of oil. In general wars typically increase the demand ( militaries need a lot of energy) and threaten supply ( shipping oil becomes more dangerous and access to oilfields is limited).

 Higher demand combined with limited supply is (almost) higher prices.

Question 10 T 1 / 3 points

1. Fossil fuel

2. Metal

3. Metal

4. Fossil fuel

5. Fossil fuel

6. Fossil fuel

Question 11 R / 2 points

1. True 2. False 3. True 4. True

Question 12 I / 2 points

Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up ecosystems. 

Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem; such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic are non-living components; such as water, soil and atmosphere.
