  1. East Asia and Southwest Asia have many natural resources. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei have much petroleum other countries like China have much oil deposits. China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan are popular coal producers, while the Philippines and Vietnam mine the coal. Over all South West Asia and East Asia are producers of many natural resources.

    To meet the needs of energy the people use hydroelectric power. The Three Gorges Dam help produces electricity for China. The dams on Japan’s swifts also provide hydroelectric power. Oil, found mostly in China, is used for their travel in such ways as cars, trains, air planes, etc. Coal is used for heating their houses, cooking, and burning garbage, they need these things daily.

  2. Energy resources are important everywhere people live in the world. In this region, the S. China Sea has a lot of oil, in the W. part of the country, and in Vietnam there is some oil. Petroleum is found in three of this region’s country. Those three countries are Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia. Coal is found in many of the countries also. Hydroelectric power is used in many parts of the region for energy need too. The three Gorges Dam are part of this system and is used in China.

    Natural Resources are found all over the place. Coal is used for warmth in homes, oil and corn is used together with other chemicals for gasoline. We use natural recourses every day. Clean water is our most important recourse. The food we eat starts out by being grown with water.

  3. 1.In East Asia and Southeast Asia there is an abundant supply of energy resources. In China there are a lot of oil deposits in the South China Sea and in the western part of country. Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia have rich petroleum resources. Vietnam also has rich oil reserves offshore in the South China Sea also like the Chinese have. Some of the countries that have a lot of coal include: China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Several of the countries in this region use hydroelectric power to meet there needs of resources.

    2.There are a lot of ways that natural resources help. One way is that it covers there need of energy in their houses and buildings. Some other way is that they don’t have to make the power of energy needs for all the people. All they have to do is dig (coal). Some of the natural resources have to be sucked up like the oil in the South China Sea. A lot of this concluded to that the natural resources cover most of the needs for energy power.

  4. In East Asia they have many varieties of energy resources such as oil. China has many oil deposits in the South China Sea as well as in the western part of the country. Other countries are rich with petroleum like Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia. Vietnam also has rich oil reserves offshore in the South China Sea. There are also major coal producers, such as China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Also several countries use hydroelectric power produced by the Three Gorges Dam.

    Natural resources can help China in many ways, such as the population or residents of Chinas many cities. Many houses use heat, and use fuel to power home, and without that housing wouldn’t be very comforting. Many other energy resources can be traded in China, also can be used for transpiration throughout trade. Natural resources that don’t harm the environment include hydroelectric power for the countries.

  5. There is a scarce supply of energy resources in Southeast and East Asia. China has a fairly large amount of oil deposits in the South China Sea as well as the western part of the country. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei are rich in petroleum resources. China, North and South Korea, Indonesia, and Japan are major producers of coal. Several of these countries use hydroelectric power to meet all their energy needs.

    Natural resources help with energy needs because you can you the natural resources to create or at least help create the energy that they need.

  7. China has the large oil. The other courtiers have rich petroleum. Vietnam also has rich oil. The major coal is producers in China. Vietnam also have rich oil is offshore.

    The several countries are in the region use hydroelectric power. That what the Untied states use. China is produces the electricity. That is where we got electricity.

  8. There is a big supply of energy resources in South Asia. China has large deposits of oil in the South China Sea for use as well as the western part of the country. Other countries like Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia, have large deposits of petroleum. Vietnam also has large deposits of oil in the South China Sea. China also uses hydroelectric power from the Three Gorges Dam on the Chang Jiang.

    Natural energy can help a country in so many ways. First oil is used for cars, houses, fireplaces and many in more. The most oil deposits are found in China in the South China Sea. Many people also use hydroelectric power for homes and stuff found in homes. The Gorges Dam on the Chang Jiang is a very useful place for hydroelectric power.

  9. There is an abundant supply of energy resources in East and Southeast Asia. China and Vietnam have oil deposits and reserves in the South China Sea. Several countries with in this region use hydroelectric power to meet there energy needs. Dams on rivers in Japan provide hydroelectric power for their country. Major coal producers are China Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea and Japan.


    Natural resources can help in many ways for energy needs. One is oil it is used for transportation houses and businesses. Water power can be used for electricity for lights and other things. Dams built on rivers can useful like Japans swift, short rivers provide energy for that country. The Chang Jiang also produces energy for China.

  10. China has a large oil deposits in the South China Sea as well as in the Western part of the country. There are a whole bunch of countries that have a major coal producers are China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Several countries in the region use hydroelectric power to meet their energy needs.

    To meet the needs of power people use hydroelectric power. Other things help also like the 3 Gorges Dam on the Chang Jiang, Dams on Japan’s swift. A lot of the rivers also can produce hydroelectric power right there so if you live by a river you can get your power from there also. Other countries in this region have rivers that produce a lot of things such as oil.

  12. There is an abundant supply of energy recourses in East and Southeast Asia. China has large oil deposits in the South China Sea and on the western part of the country. Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia have rich petroleum recourses. Vietnam also has rich oil reserves offshore. China, Indonesia, North and South Korea, and Japan have large areas of coal. The Philippines and Vietnam both mine coal. Several countries you hydroelectric energy to meet there needs.

    Hydroelectric power can help these countries big time because of the rivers and oceans. Coal can be used to burn to melt steel and other metals to create buildings. Oils can help this region importing different items to meet there needs. There are many different ways to get things for your needs but natural recourses can be more helpful because there are better for the environment.

  13. The main idea of this section is the energy resources that the countries in this region use. China has large oil deposits in the South China Sea as well as in the western part of the country. Indonesia, Brunei, and Vietnam are other countries with rich petroleum resources. Vietnam has rich oil reserves offshore in the South China Sea also. China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan have major coal produces. And several countries in this region use hydroelectric power to meet their energy needs.

    Natural resources can help with energy needs because instead of using another country’s resources they could use their own. This will also help the country because they would not have to spend money on importing oil and other thing. This would also make less oil spills in the ocean because they could use their own and not have ships take it over the ocean from other countries.

  14. There is a bunch energy resource in East and Southeast Asia. China has a lot of oil in the South China Sea, as well as in the western side of the country. Indonesia has a lot of petroleum too. Many of the countries like China, Japan, Indonesia, North and South Korea mine coal. Some of the region uses hydroelectric power to meet their energy needs. For example, the Three Gorges Dam In China on the Chang Jiang River.

    Natural resources can help in a variety of ways. For example hydroelectric power gives energy to many countries such as China and Japan. Dams help get the power. Some dams can be pretty harmful sometimes too. Sometimes, it is the only way to get energy for a region. Natural resources can help get electricity in a variety of ways.

    Southeast and East Asia have an abundant supply of energy resources. Oil deposits are found in the South China Sea. These are owned by China and Vietnam. Other petroleum resources are found in Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia. China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan are major coal producers. Coal is also mined in the Philippines and Vietnam. Most of the countries use hydroelectric power to meet their energy needs.
    Natural resources can help with energy needs in a variety of ways. One way is by burning coal or wood. Another way is by building dams to make hydroelectric power. A third way is by using oil to help run cars and other vehicles.

  16. In East and Southeast Asia there is an abundant supply of energy resources. The resources include Oil, Petroleum, and coal. Many countries in the region use hydroelectric power. The two main countries that use this type of power are Japan and China. Countries that mine coal include: China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Countries that are rich with petroleum resources include: Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia.

    Natural resources, like water, can help with the hydroelectric power. Most natural resources are the bases of an energy resource. Coal can be burned for heat and different types of energy.

  17. In East and Southeast Asia there is a variety amount of energy resources. The South China Sea and west part of the country produce large oil deposits for China. Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia have very rich petroleum deposits. Five countries in this area are major coal producers include China, Indonesia, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan, but the Philippines and Vietnam also mine coal but do not have as big of deposit as the other countries. Hydroelectric power is a very commonly used resource in this region. They use it to meet all of their energy needs. This electricity comes for the Three Gorges Dam located on the Chang Jiang river.

    Natural resources such as coal, oil, and petroleum can be used for many things. For example, coal can be used to heat buildings or trains. Oil can be used for lubricating machines to work properly or tar roads. Petroleum is used for cars or often used for homes. Hydroelectric power can be used to power vehicles, homes, machines, or maybe for electricity in a building.
