COAL DEPOSITS
Map Skills
This map shows the location of coal mines in New Zealand. Coal is New
Zealand’s most common fossil fuel. Although both North and South Island have
many coalmines, the mines on South Island are much more productive. South
Island mines produce almost 85 percent of New Zealand’s coal.
Use the map above to answer the questions below.
1. Using a Key Which island’s coal deposits are distributed over a wider area?
_______________________________________________________________
2. Finding Locations What city is farthest from a coal deposit?
_______________________________________________________________
3. Finding Locations Are most of the coal mines in New Zealand near cities or
some distance away?
_______________________________________________________________
4. Making a Hypothesis Based on what you have learned in this chapter, what
types of mining do you suppose New Zealanders use to get their coal? Explain
your answer.
