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
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Below are some that could threaten an area after the<span>initial shocks from an earthquake subside:

caspian sea
Fun fact : Why is the Black Sea black? The sea was first named by the ancient Greeks who called it "Inhospitable Sea." The sea got this reputation because it was difficult to navigate, and hostile tribes inhabited its shore
The average salinity of water is approximately 3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand.
This implies that for every 1 litre of sea water there are 35 grams of salts dissolved in it.
Even though a vast majority of seawater is found in oceans with salinity around 3.5%, seawater is not consistently saline throughout the world.
I believe your answer is that <span>It has slowed global trade and decreased food security.. :)</span>
