- Patterns and Changes in Energy
- Changes in Production
- Energy production has increased where new reserves are found e.g. Nigeria and Algeria
- Increases in places that have become more politically stable
- Production of energy in places where resources have run out e.g. North Sea oil - affecting UK, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany
- Decreases in places that become more unstable e.g. Sudan oil production in the civil war
- Changes in Consumption
- China has the largest population and one of the fastest growing economy in the world - standards of living increase, along with industrial output, more energy is consumed
- Newly industrialised countries e.g. India and Mexico are using more energy as they develop
- Changes in Trade
- This changes as a result of production and consumption changing
- Exports from ex-Soviet central Asian countries are increasing - attracting buyers from the EU, USA and China because it's more stable than the Middle East and isn't controlled by Russia
- Brazil and Denmark used to be heavily reliant on imports but now are both energy self-sufficient due to development of renewable energy and discovers of domestic oil reserves
