2. transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and feedstocks for making the chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials that are in nearly everything we use.

Answer:

<h2>Uses of Natural Gas</h2>

Natural Gas was used mainly for street and household lighting in the 19th and 20th century.

Now, it has a lot more uses in the homes and industrial applications.

It is used to turn turbines for wind and solar energy generation.

This fossil fuel is used for the production of ammonia which itself is used for making fertilizers.

It is a domestic fuel as well. It fires stoves in our houses and also runs heaters, ovens, boilers, etc.

Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, that is gas stored at high pressure, is also used in some households for heating and cooking purposes.

<h2 /><h2>Uses of Petroleum</h2>

1. Agriculture:

Petroleum is useful in the manufacture of ammonia, which is in use in agricultural fertilizers as a nitrogen source.

2.Chemical Industry:

Petroleum by-products are in use as raw materials by many chemical firms. They are useful in the processing of chemical fertilizers, synthetic fibre, synthetic rubber, plastics, pesticides, insecticides, perfumes, dyes, paints. The refining of crude oil results in the production of many by-products that are useful for household and industrial purposes. Plastic, detergents, oil, Vaseline, wax, and butane, among others, are significant by-products of petroleum. Paraffin wax is useful in the production of candles, ink, crayons, etc.

3.Lubricants:

In almost all industries, lubricants (one of the derivatives of petroleum) are useful in several types of machines. To minimize friction, lubricants are in use in all kinds of automobiles and industrial equipment.

How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in the past?
slega [8]
We know that the poles had changed positions in the past, because of the arrangement of the crystals in the rocks made out of metal. The crystals of the metals act like the needle of the compass when the rock is cooling off and forming, they turn into the direction of the strongest magnetic field on the Earth, which is the North Pole. So by studying the rocks that are made out of metals and see the crystals arrangement and also estimate the age of the rocks, the scientist can precisely tell how has the North Pole been moving throughout time.

Consider these three squares, 25,144 and 169 . Can a right triangle be formed using these squares
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Yes, if we take the square roots of 25, 144 and 169 (5, 12, 13)

Not by using those measures as is (sides of a triangle with 25, 144 and 169).

Explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle with an angle of 90 degrees, and the side facing that angle of 90 degrees is called an hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse measurement squared is equal to the squared measurements of the other two sides:

c² = a² + b²

And those squares do verify the equation:

169 = 144 + 25

So, that's a rectangle (right) triangle, with sides measuring 5, 12 and 13.
