Question

How is science involved in the exploration for oil and natural gas? How is technology involved in this exploration? The Big Squeeze: How did oil and natural gas begin? Briefly explain the role of sedimentation and dead organisms in producing oil and natural gas.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Geology

B. Computer aided designs

C. Dead organisms in the oceans

D. Helps in converting dead organisms into oil and gas

Explanation:

The oil and natural gas are buried under layers and this requires a good knowledge of "geology". Furthermore, equipments must be built to explore this oil and natural gas

Involvement of Technology has to do with "Computer aided models" being generated. Seismic surveys and satellites used to collect data.

Oil and gas began as dead plants and animals living in the ocean millions of years ago.

Role of sedimentation: the Organisms in the ocean died and went to the bottom of the ocean, where a layer of sediment would cover them. Over the years, alternating layers of dead organisms and sediments were formed. As the layers bottled up, the immense pressure and heat converted the dead organisms into oil and natural gas.
