POLUTION + AFFECTS OF OIL

OIL IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FOSSIL FUELS ON EART

IT IS A NATURALLY OCCURRING HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID

WHEN IT WAS FIRSTLY USED 4000 YEARS AGO BY THE FAMOUS ARCHITECTS OF THE BABYLON TOWER, EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW, THAT IT WOULD FACE GREAT SUCCESS

IT IS CREATED, WHEN LARGE QUANTITIES OF DEAD ANIMALS, USUALLY ZOOPLANKTONS ARE BURIED UNDER THOUSANDS OF TONS OF SOIL, THIS MUST THEN BE UNDER GIGANTIC PRESSURE AND MUST FACE COLOSSAL TEMPERATURES

ALL PLASTIC AND METALS ARE MADE OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL NO TRANSPORT WOULD EXIST WITHOUT OIL, EVERY SINGLE CAR AND AIRPLANE NEED OIL O POWER ITS ENGINE

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF A FEW STATES VASTLY RELIES ON THE OIL MARKET. THIS CREATES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ($)

OIL IS BURNED TO CREATE ENERGY, THIS IS MOST OF THE WORLDS USE

MILLIONS OF OCEANIC CREATURES ARE KILLED, WHEN OIL IS DRILLED OUT OF THE OCEANS

OIL ALSO CALLED - PETROLEUM, ALSO AFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT BY CREATING GREENHOUSE GASSES SUCH AS GREENHOUSE GASSES

THE MAIN THINGS THAT ARE CREATED FROM PETROLEUM ARE JET FUEL, DIESEL FUEL, GASOLINE AND KEROSENE

BECAUSE OF THE ENORMOUS PRICE OF OIL, THE WHOLE WORLD IS TRYING TO FIND A WAY, HOW TO REPLACE OIL, ALTHOUGH THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS, WORK ON THIS ISSUE, NOT MUCH HAS YET BEEN DONE

DESPITE THE FACT THAT OIL IS BEING SLOWLY REPLACED, SOME COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE U.S.A. AGGRESSIVELY SEARCH THROUGH-OUT THE ANTARCTIC OCEAN FOR NEW OIL PLACES

ALTHOUGH THE OIL HAS MANY GREAT SIDES, IT ALSO HAS SOME WORSE, SUCH AS THE FACT THAT EVERY SO OFTEN A COLOSSAL OIL SPILL DESTROYS LARGE PARTS OF THE MARINE POPULATION

THE WASTE AFTER OIL USE CANNOT BE RECYCLED AND HAS TO BE PUT INTO BARRELS SOMEWHERE ELSE, HOWEVER ONCE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE SPACE FOR THESE CONTAINERS, WHICH WILL THEN HAVE TO BE EMPTIED

IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE LARGEST MAKERS OF GLOBAL WARMING

THE TRANSPORT OF OIL COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, WHICH THEN AFFECT THE PRICE

ALL OF THESE FACTORS ARE VERY IMPORTAN, HOWEVER THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD POPULATION WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO EXIST WITHOUT OIL

DIFFERENT FOSSIL FUELS

THE WORLD NEEDS FOSSIL FUELS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THEY POWER ABOUT 98% OF THE WORLDS ENERGY IS MADE FROM BURNING THESE

THE MOST KNOWN FOSSIL FUELS ARE COAL, PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS

THESE TYPES OF ENERGY ARE CALLED FOSSIL FUELS, BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF FOSSILS OF ANIMALS AND CANNOT BE REUSED

THE GLOBAL RESEARCH FOR RENEWABLE SOURCES IS PRODUCING GREAT RESULTS, HOWEVER THE WORLD STILL HAS TO RELY ON FOSSIL FUELS

COAL

IT IS THE SECOND MOST USED FOSSIL FUEL ON EARTH

IT IS A SEDIMENTARY ROCK, WHICH IS USUALLY LOCATED IN THE SOIL LAYER CALLED ROCK STRATA

IT IS A VERY USEFUL RESOURCE, FOR CENTURIES PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR HEATING AND ELECTRICITY AND EVEN NOW IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBSTANCES ON EARTH

NUCLEAR

THIS SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY IS THE ONE THAT CREATES THE LARGEST CONTROVERSY

THE NUCLEAR POWER IS GENERATED IN COLOSSAL POWER PLANTS, WHERE THE NUCLEUS OF ATOMS IS SUSTAINED IN EXOTHERMIC NUCLEAR PROCESSES

THESE POWER PLANTS MAKE 13,7% OF THE WORLDS ENERGY ALTHOUGH THEY PRODUCE A LARGE PART OF THE WORLDS

ENERGY, THEY ARE FIXED WITH MANY GIGANTIC PROBLEMS

THESE POWER PLANTS PRODUCE COLOSSAL WASTE, WHICH ISN’T ECOLOGICAL AND HAS TO BE PUT INTO BARRELS, WHICH ARE THEN LEFT ASIDE

THE ENERGY IS ALSO VERY EASILY UNLEASHABLE AND MAY PRODUCE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE CERNOBYL IN RUSSIA

THIS TECHNOLOGY WAS FIRST USED DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHEN MANY SCIENTISTS SUPPORTED THIS TECHNIQUE, THE GOVERNMENTS HAD TO AGREE, THIS LED TO THE FOUNDATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
