Reading Natural resources in Great Britain Part II

Mines and Factories. During the 19th century Britain used to have many coal and iron mines and had the natural resources to make textiles, steel and ships. Today coal and textiles can be produced more cheaply in other countries and so many British factories and mines have closed. Areas like South Wales, central Scotland, the north of England (the Midlands, Merseyside, Manchester, West Yorkshire and Newcastle) and London were important industrial centres.

Wind Power (renewable resources). We are using more and more energy every year. In the UK, the majority of electricity is generated by a mix of fossil fuels and nuclear power, releasing millions of tons of carbon dioxide into environment. The business of generating electricity from wind is growing fast as the world looks for cleaner ways to produce energy. Coal, oil and gas fired power stations could eventually be replaced by wind farms and other forms of renewable energy.

In 1997, there were 550 wind turbines and over 30 wind farms in the UK. The government has made a promise that 10% of the energy of the UK will come from renewable sources by 2010.

Today wind is used to generate electricity using wind turbines. Like wind- mills, wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. They are 100 feet (30 metres) or more above ground.

Minerals (non-renewable resources). Britain has relatively few mineral resources. Zinc, tin, iron ore, and copper are all produced in small quantities. At one time Cornwall boasted 2,000 tin mines and it was a world leader in tin produc- tion.

Commercial minerals used in construction and building industries are such as sand and gravel, limestone and gypsum. They are normally mined from the surface in quarries using heavy machinery. Smaller quarries are also found across England and provide stone for local business industry. This means that many parts of England have a distinctive appearance according to the local stone available.

Agriculture. Most of the land is suitable for agriculture, although the largest area is reserved for pasture and grazing land. Agriculture provides around 60 per cent on the country’s food needs.
