1 PRIMARY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Use Natural Resources from the land and sea WHICH OF THESE IS NOT RELEVANT TO IRELAND

2 SECONDARY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Process natural resources to make things

3 TERTIARY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Services that are provided

4 Coal Fabrics Bread Natural Gas Oil Paper Water Glass Peat Plastic
WHICH FIVE OF THESE ARE NATURAL RESOURCES Coal Fabrics Bread Natural Gas Oil Paper Water Glass Peat Plastic

6 A RENEWABLE RESOURCE A resource we can use again and again. Its always available and there is almost no end to its supply SOLAR WATER WIND

7 WATER: THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL RESOURCES

8

9 Water is a renewable resource.
The sun evaporates water from rivers lakes and the sea (Evaporation) which rises and then cools (condensation) into clouds When clouds get to heavy they drop water as rain (Precipitation) The falling rain eventually gathers in rivers, lakes and the sea (Collection)

10 Water is essential to life we can only survive a few days without water
How does it get from the sky to our taps.

11 Treated water stored in large reservoir and pumped to local reservoirs
Rainwater collected in manmade lakes called reservoir's Rainwater piped to treatments plants where pollutants are removed and flouride is added Clean water piped from local reservoirs to homes. Clean water stored in local reservoirs Treated water stored in large reservoir and pumped to local reservoirs Treated water stored in large reservoir and pumped to local reservoirs Clean water piped from local reservoirs to homes.

12 WATER POLLUTION: Can make drinking water unhealthy and kill wildlife along riverbanks or the coast
Fertilisers in farming can soak into rivers. This causes an algae to grow which deprives the water of oxygen

13

14 Many industries, especially in developing countries, pour their toxic waste directly into rivers or the sea

15 We get most of our energy from either Oil and / or Natural Gas
These are Finite resources meaning there is only a certain amount of them and they will eventually run out These are Non-Renewable resources

16 SAUDI ARABIA IS THE WORLDS BIGGEST PROVIDER OF OIL

17 Oil has brought huge wealth to the country but not for everyone
Oil has brought huge wealth to the country but not for everyone. The rich have got much richer.

18 SAUDI ARABIA IS DEPENDENT ON ITS OIL TO SUPPORT ITS ECONOMY
SAUDI ARABIA IS DEPENDENT ON ITS OIL TO SUPPORT ITS ECONOMY. WHEN THE OIL RUNS OUT THEIR ECONOMY WILL SUFFER THEY NEED TO DIVERSIFY, FIND NEW INDUSTRIES FOR THEIR ECONOMY.

19 WRITE DOWN THREE PROS AND THREE CONS ABOUT THE KINSALE GAS FIELD

20 CORRIB GAS CONTROVESY

21 V Shell want to process gas from the Corrib Gas Field in Mayo on land near peoples homes. They say it will provide jobs for the local area and is to expensive to process at sea Shell to Sea want Shell to process the gas at sea. They say developing a processing facility on land will damage the environment and pose a danger to people living in the area.

22 THE ROSSPORT FIVE Five local men who objected to the Corrib Gas proposal because they live near it. They were imprisoned for protesting against the proposal

23 EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY: PEAT IN IRELAND
Where we extract resources from the ground eg, Coal, Peat

24 RAISED BOG 8m DEEP LOCATED ON FLAT LAND MIDLANDS OF IRELAND

25 BLANKET BOG 1.5M DEEP MOUNTAIN AREAS WEST OF IRELAND, DUBLIN MOUNTAINS

26 BORD NA MONA: STATE COMPANY RESPOSIBLE FOR PEAT EXTRACTION IN IRELAND

27 A B C D LOOK AT p289 IN TEXT BOOK. LIST PICTURES A-D ABOVE IN ORDER OF OF STEPS ONE TO FOUR

28

29 PREPARING THE BOG

30 1 DRAIN THE BOG OF WATER MAKE A DITCH USING A MACHINT CALLED A DITCHER ALL THE WATER IN THE BOG DRAINS INTO THR DITCH

31 2 FLATTEN OUT THE BOG FLATTEN THE BOG USING A GRADER

32 3 LAY DOWN RAILWAY TRACKS
MANY BOGS USE RAIL LINES TO TRANSPORT PEAT FROM ONE END OF THE BOG TO THE OTHER

33 PEAT PRODUCTS

34 NATURAL RESOURCES: FISHING

35 FISH ARE A NATURAL RENEWABLE RESOURCE
HOWEVER IF MORE FISH ARE TAKEN FROM THE SEA THAN CAN REPRODUCE THEN FISH STOCKS WILL DEPLETE (FALL) THIS IS CALLED OVERFISHING

36 WHY IS OVERFISHING BECOMING A PROBLEM
SONAR: HELPS FIND FISH BIGGER BOATS: CAN GO FURTHER OUT TO SEA. STAY OUT LONGER AND CATCH MORE FISH BIGGER NETS: HELPS CATCH MORE FISH

37 FISHING IN IRELAND Ireland has one of the richest fishing waters in the world. This is because: North Atlantic Drift warms coast Ireland has a coastline with lots of bays and inlets so sheltered harbours Irish waters rich in plankton which fish eat

38 TO PRESERVE FISH STOCKS
THE EU HAS FISH QUOTAS. THIS MEANS THERE IS A LIMIT ON THE AMOUNT OF FISH BOATS CAN CATCH EXCLUSION ZONES MEANS ONLY IRISH FISHERMAN CAN FISH IN IRISH WATERS. THIS STOPS BIG COMMERCIAL VESSELS FROM SPAIN COMING INTO OUR WATERS
