Look at Fig. 3.1 (Insert), which shows average wind speeds in southern and western Pakistan. The labelled locations U, V, W, X, Y, Z on Fig. 3.1 are possible places for wind power generation. Identify the two sites that have the lowest potential for generating wind power.
Using Fig. 3.1 only, describe the arrangement of areas with very high wind speeds.
Describe two advantages of using wind power to generate electricity in Pakistan.
Study Fig. 3.2, a diagram showing the way wind power is used to generate electricity. The diagram includes these labels: wind arrows, power cables, tower, transformer, transmission pylons. Complete the labels on Fig. 3.2 in the spaces provided.
Oil is a non-renewable fuel. Name one other non-renewable fuel.
Describe how crude oil is extracted.
State two methods used to transport oil over land in Pakistan.
Explain why Pakistan needs to import large amounts of oil. You should develop your answer.
Pakistan’s energy use is rising quickly at about 5% each year. Read this statement: ‘The use of solar power is better than wave and tidal power to help meet increasing demand for electricity in Pakistan.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? Give reasons to justify your judgement and refer to examples you have studied. You should consider more than one point of view in your answer.
