Reading Natural Resources in Great Britain Part I

Natural resources are things that occur naturally, and that are useful to us. They include fuels such as oil and natural gas, and materials such as iron ore and timber.

Natural resources can be renewable or non-renewable.

Renewable resources are those that are replaced in nature at a rate close to their rate of use, e.g.: plants, forests, animals. Care is needed to make sure resources are used sustainably and not over-harvested. There are non-living renewable resources too such as hydroelectric power, solar power, biomass fuel, and wind power.

Non-renewable resources exist in fixed amounts or are used up faster than they can be replaced in nature e.g. fossil fuels. (Fossil fuels could be counted as renewable but as they take millions of years to form they are not practically considered “renewable”.

Britain’s Natural Resources: coal, petroleum, natural gas – found in the British sector of the North Sea. They are also zinc, tin, limestone, iron ore, salt, clay, slate, chalk, gypsum, lead, silica, arable land.

Coal (non-renewable resources). Britain has large deposits of coal, mined for more than 300 years. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, coal was Britain’s richest natural resource, meeting most of the nation’s requirement for energy. Today coal can be produced more cheaply in other countries and so many British factories and mines have closed.

In 1970 Britain was the third largest producer of coal but coal production has declined rapidly since then. In 2000, only 35 million tonnes of coal were produced compared to 145 million in 1970.

Oil and Natural Gas (non-renewable resources). Oil and gas were formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over the years the remains of the plants and animals were covered by layers of mud and soil which eventually turned to rock trapping the remains beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil (petroleum), and some into natural gas – tiny bubbles of odorless gas.

Oil and gas were discovered under the North Sea during 1960s and new supplies are still being found today. Gas has been particularly important in replacing coal as a fuel for generating electricity.
