(c)
Petroleum products, such as petrol, are produced from crude oil.
The graph shows the possible future production of petroleum products from crude oil
and the expected demand for petroleum products.
Canada’s oil sands hold about 20% of the world’s known crude oil reserves.
The oil sands contain between 10 to 15% of crude oil. This crude oil is mainly
bitumen.
In Canada the oil sands are found in the ground underneath a very large area of
forest. The trees are removed. Then large diggers and trucks remove 30 metres
depth of soil and rock to reach the oil sands. The oil sands are quarried. Boiling
water is mixed with the quarried oil sands to separate the bitumen from the sand.
Methane (natural gas) is burned to heat the water.
The mixture can be separated because bitumen floats on water and the sand sinks
to the bottom of the water. The bitumen is cracked and the products are separated
by fractional distillation.
Use the information given and your knowledge and understanding to suggest the
advantages and disadvantages of extracting petroleum products from oil sands.

Level 3 (5–6 marks):
A detailed and coherent argument is provided which considers a range of issues and comes
to a conclusion consistent with the reasoning.
Level 2 (3–4 marks):
An attempt to describe the advantages and disadvantages of the production and uses is
made, which comes to a conclusion. The logic may be inconsistent at times but builds
towards a coherent argument.
Level 1 (1–2 marks):
Simple statements made. The logic may be unclear and the conclusion, if present, may not
be consistent with the reasoning.
