Which of the following is NOT a reason energy is important to development?

• Developed Countries use a large amount of energy to produce food, run factories, and provide transportation for people and goods

• Developing countries have a growing demand for access to energy sources to improve levels of development in their countries

Proven reserves of Oil and Natural gas in the US are located in

• Mountainous regions of the Appalachian and Rockies

• Southeast US

• Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and Appalachian Mountains

• Along the US/Canada border. That's why the divide of the US and Canad is at the 49th parallel

• Coal, Hydroelectricity, and petroleum

• Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas

• Solar energy, wind energy, and natural gas

What is true about the supply and demand of fossil fuels?

• The heaviest consumers of fossil fuels are in developed countries, but most reserves are found in developing countries

• North America and Western Europe control the largest amount of fossil fuel supply, while China has the highest demand for energy

• Southeast Asia has the fastest growing demand for energy resources, but supplying the region is difficult due to it's geographic proximity to highest producing nations

• Geologists are not concerned about the supply of energy sources because of the growing renewable energy sector
