Resource Distribution and Fossil Fuels

The video tutorial covers natural resources, focusing on coal in Utah, and explains the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources. It discusses the geological distribution of resources, particularly coal and oil, and highlights the importance of understanding these resources for sustainable use. The tutorial concludes with activities related to Utah's geological resources and a simulation of resource distribution.

What is one of the main natural resources found in Utah?

• Coal

• Copper

• Gold

• Oil

What is the primary difference between renewable and non-renewable resources?

• Renewable resources are man-made, non-renewable are natural.

• Renewable resources regenerate quickly, non-renewable do not.

• Renewable resources are always available, non-renewable are not.

• Renewable resources are cheaper, non-renewable are expensive.

Which of the following is a non-renewable resource?

• Wind energy

• Coal

• Hydropower

• Solar energy

Which group includes fossil fuels?

• Building materials like concrete

• Gemstones like diamonds and rubies

• Fossil fuels like coal and oil

• Metals like iron and copper

Why might Utah have more coal reserves than California?

• Utah has more rivers and lakes.

• California has more oil reserves.

• Utah was historically a swampy area.

• California has more mountains.

What is a significant factor in the formation of coal?

• Desert climates

• High altitude regions

• Swampy areas with buried plants

• Presence of dinosaurs

What does the map of global oil reserves in 2020 show?

• Some countries have abundant oil reserves, others have little or none.

• Oil reserves are decreasing worldwide.

• All countries have equal oil reserves.

• Oil reserves are only found in large countries.

Why is the unequal distribution of resources challenging for small countries?

• They have too many natural disasters.

• They have more technology than resources.

• They have more resources than they need.

• They lack land and must rely on neighbors.

What is one of the activities mentioned for understanding resource distribution?

• Rock climbing

• Oil drilling

• Bird watching

• Bird seed mining simulation

What is the focus of the activity 'Utah's geological resources through time'?

• Studying the history of Utah's climate

• Exploring Utah's geological resources and their locations

• Analyzing Utah's population growth

• Mapping Utah's water resources
