(a(i))[2]

Use Fig. 7, which shows the quantities of oil produced in Pakistan and oil imported, for selected years. Name the site of one oil refinery in Pakistan. Give one reason to suggest why it is situated there.

(a(ii))[1]

Complete Fig. 7 by drawing the bar for 2009, using the data below: Imported: 185 000 barrels/day Produced: 60 000 barrels/day

(a(iii))[2]

Compare Pakistan’s oil production with its oil imports in 2011 and 2013.

(a(iv))[2]

Give two reasons that Pakistan brings in large quantities of oil.

(b(i))[2]

Study Fig. 8, which displays population and electricity production in Pakistan from 2000 to 2014. A Describe the relationship between population and electricity production during 2000 to 2008. B Describe how population and electricity production have changed since 2008.

(b(ii))[4]

Explain why the supply of electricity does not satisfy demand in many parts of Pakistan. You should develop your response.

(c(i))[3]

Electricity may be produced with solar power. Fill the gaps in the passage below by selecting the correct words from the list and placing them in the spaces provided. Rectangular solar [BLANK] contain many solar [BLANK] which change the [BLANK] energy from the sun into electrical energy. They may be fitted on the [BLANK] of houses and other buildings. Large arrays of solar panels can also be placed on the ground, for example in deserts. To collect as much of the sun’s energy as possible, solar panels should face [BLANK]. In other solar power systems, the sun heats water and the [BLANK] is then used to drive a turbine. Word list: roofs, panels, wind, steam, east, heat, light, south, cells

(c(ii))[3]

What disadvantages come from generating electricity with wave and tidal power?

(d)[6]

Read the two views below about ways to deal with Pakistan’s shortage of energy: View A says: "To produce more energy, bigger-scale power generation schemes such as nuclear, gas-fired, oil-fired, and multi-purpose HEP (Hydel) power stations should be constructed." View B says: "To produce more energy, smaller-scale power generation schemes should be established, such as biogas, wind, and solar power plants." Which view do you support more? Give reasons for your answer and refer to examples you have studied. Your response should consider both View A and View B.
