modern city?
Task 2
a. Only few developing countries have had to look for coal, why?
Few of the developing countries have ever had to look for coal, since
historically their development processes got underway after oil was
generally available.
b. What effect could rising oil prices have on non OPEC developing
countries?
world?
Rising oil prices may encourage non OPEC developing countries to look
increasingly to wards coal to help meet domestic energy needs and, in
certain cases, possibly contribute to exports.
weakened it?
Did people stop looking for coal reserves after that? Why not?
Australian coal industry sufficient for local needs was developed, only to
be weakened by the use of oil. However in the last twenty years, wider
exploration has been carried out in Australia, largely to meet Japanese
demand for coking coal for their iron and steel industries.
d. Where have new coal reserves been found what can you tell about
them?
As a result, output has trebled, and measured reserves have been found in
New South Wales and Queensland.
Did people in past predict that there would be many coal resources
found?
Offshore coal reserve is coal that lie under the sea. Some of the best coal

Summary
Few of the developing countries have ever had to look for coal, since
historically their development processes got underway after oil was generally
available. Rising oil prices may encourage non OPEC developing countries to
look increasingly to wards coal to help meet domestic energy needs and, in
certain cases, possibly contribute to exports.
Australian coal industry sufficient for local needs was developed, only to
be weakened by the use of oil. However in the last twenty years, wider
exploration has been carried out in Australia, largely to meet Japanese demand
for coking coal for their iron and steel industries. As a result, output has
trebled, and measured reserves have been found in New South Wales and
Queensland. Exploration in the southern parts of Africa and in Indonesia is
now yielding favorable results and it seems probable that the wold’s coal
resources may be far greater than previously estimated.
