Why did the oil price start cheap and after establishing OPEC it became higher
Lady_Fox [76]
Oil still plays an important role in the global economy despite the continued efforts to reduce its use and to find alternative green energy sources. In the early days, finding oil during a drill was considered somewhat of a nuisance as the intended treasures were normally water or salt. It wasn't until 1847 that the first commercial oil well was drilled in the Absheron Peninsula, Azerbaijan.1 The U.S. petroleum industry was born 12 years later, in 1859, with intentional drilling near Titusville, Pennsylvania. (Drilling in the United States began in the early 1800s, but they were drilling for brine so any oil discovery was accidental.)2

mixer [17]

Answer:

  1. Reduced snow accumulations
  2. Earlier snowmelt in the Spring
  3. Spring flooding
  4. Less water in streams
  5. Reduced water availability

Explanation:

Less snow will fall in Winter due to the higher temperatures and, thus, will not accumulate. When there is less accumulated snow on the ground and the snowpack is thinner, then the snowmelt will occur earlier and faster in the Spring.  

Quicker snowmelt in the Spring will result in rivers overflowing their banks because they cannot hold such a rapid influx of water. Rapid water cycle runoff will cause Spring flooding.

The snowpack will, therefore, be depleted early in the Spring season, and due to the earlier and faster snowmelt, there will be less water in the streams during the Summer.

The consequential lack of slow mountain snowmelt during the summer season will result in rivers flowing much less vigorously and with less volume over water. This means that downriver communities will face summer water shortages.

Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

This is not pole reversal. Pole reversal does not control how a rocks are formed, they only align the orientation of magnetic minerals in a cooling rock.

Pole reversals occur when the direction of the magnetic north and south changes.

  • The rock type with the quartz band oriented perpendicularly from one another must have been formed along a fracture in the rock formation.
  • Fractures structurally controls how intrusions are formed.
  • The quartz band must have been a fluid from a magmatic body that crystallizes at the late stage with some other minerals.
  • Fractures acts as weakness planes in rocks and they are utilized by intrusive bodies to cool.
