Compare and contrast the energy consumption patterns in urban and rural areas, and explain the reasons behind these differences.

• Rural areas have higher energy consumption than urban areas due to greater reliance on modern amenities and technology

• The energy consumption patterns in urban areas are generally higher than in rural areas due to higher population density, increased industrial and commercial activities, and greater reliance on modern amenities and technology. Urban areas also have more transportation and infrastructure demands, leading to higher energy usage. On the other hand, rural areas have lower energy consumption due to lower population density, less industrial and commercial activities, and a greater reliance on traditional and less energy-intensive practices.

• The energy consumption patterns in urban and rural areas are the same because both areas have access to modern amenities and technology

• Urban areas have lower energy consumption than rural areas due to less industrial and commercial activities
