Question
What are the main issues related to the UK's energy resource management?
Answer
The main issues include the changing energy mix, which reflects a shift towards renewable sources; reliance on fossil fuels, which poses sustainability challenges; reduced domestic fossil fuel supplies, leading to increased imports; and exploitation issues related to environmental impacts and resource depletion.
Explanation
A strong answer should directly address the approved learning objective to describe UK energy resource issues including the changing energy mix, reliance on fossil fuels, renewables, reduced domestic fossil fuel supplies and exploitation issues. This question belongs to Resource management within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the response should use relevant Geography terminology, evidence, and context rather than a generic statement. The model answer is strongest when it names the key idea, links it to energy, and keeps the explanation inside AQA GCSE Geography 8035.
Common mistake
Confusing Energy Sources
Students often confuse renewable and non-renewable energy sources, thinking that all energy sources are interchangeable.
Clarify the differences between renewable energy sources (like solar and wind) and non-renewable sources (like coal and oil), focusing on their sustainability and environmental impact.
