Explain why oil exploration in the areas shown could lead to high economic and environmental costs (10) Oil exploration is the extraction of petroleum from reservoirs underground and using the substance to benefit people. For example using it for transport and industry. However continuous exploitation can lead to costs, which can be both economic and environmental.

On the one hand, they really contribute to the maintenance of the stable growth of Canadian economy due to the permanent and increasing flow of immigrants, which enlarge the national market of the labour force. On the other hand, there are numerous negative effects of the growing immigration on the national economy, among which the growing competition for the native born Canadians is not the most serious problem.
