Crude oil was formed by hydrocarbons or distillate from decaying animal matter migrating to stratigraphic traps like folds in the sedimentary rocks like anticlines which are dome-shaped folds in the rocks. 

In North America, the First Nations used the pitchy tar sands near Fort McMurray to waterproof their canoes long ago before the white man arrived.

In Alberta, the first successful oil well to be drilled was in approximately 1947 called the Leduc well and then oil drilling blossomed from there. Crude oil would be refined to process this oil at that time and broken down into fractions.
Large scale expansion of the oil industry got impetus from the widespread use of automobiles and planes in the early part of the 20th century and then once discoveries like the Leduc well were made, then it became apparent that it was possible to figure out where the oil was and then it blossomed.
In 1907. Leo Baekeland invented bakelite from petroleum ie a polymer. 
Nylon and polyester were developed from petroleum in the 1930's and 1941 respectively.,
In 1865, Edward Roberts, an American discovered that by exploding a torpedo with explosive powder in it in an oil well it could increase the well yield by up to 1200% 
Peak oil is estimated to be very soon between 2010 and 2030 or most likely before 2020 so anytime soon and after that the reserves are expected to diminish. The world should be converting strongly to alternative energy sources the sooner the better especially to prevent the potential pollution of pipelines and oil tankersl

Thermal energy _____ as temperature increases
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
A. increases

As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object will increase. If the temperature of an object doesn't change, the thermal energy will increase as the mass of the object increases.

Find the linear function Cequals​f(F) that gives the reading on the Celsius temperature scale corresponding to a reading on the
padilas [110]

Answer:

C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

They both read equal at Z = - 40

Explanation:

We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition

Y = aX + b

Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b

Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212

0 = 32 a + b            (1)

100 = 212 a + b       (2)

From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)

and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9

Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)

Both readings are equal at a Z number so

Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9

(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (O),65 percent; carbon (C), 18 p
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The mass in grams of each element in the body of 62 Kg are

Oxygen               40300 g

Carbon                11160 g

Hydrogen            6200 g

Nitrogen              1860 g

Calcium                992 g

Phosphorus         744 g

Other elements   744 g

It is possible to check it adding all the components, the total is 62000 g.  

Explanation:

Firstly, we have a total mass of 62 Kg and the composition as a percentage of each component.

                            Percentage ( %)

Oxygen               65.0

Carbon               18.0

Hydrogen            10.0

Nitrogen              3.0

Calcium               1.6

Phosphorus         1.2

Other elements   1.2

Taking the definition of a percentage as part of hundred total, each percentage can be expressed as a decimal number. We should divide the percentage with 100 of total. For example: Oxygen 65%, it means 65/100 = 0.65. So, Oxygen is 0.65 in decimal numbers. We do the same for each component.

                           Percentage ( %)      Decimal number

Oxygen               65.0                         65/100 = 0.65

Carbon               18.0                           18/100 = 0.18

Hydrogen            10.0                         10/100 = 0.10

Nitrogen              3.0                           3/100 = 0.03

Calcium               1.6                           1.6/100 = 0.016

Phosphorus         1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012

Other elements   1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012

Finally. We can multiply decimal number of each component taking the total. 1 Kg is equivalent to 1000 g.

So, 62 Kg = 62 * 1000 g = 62000 g

After that we get the mass in grams of each element, by multiplying 62000 g and the decimal number of each component as follows:

                           Percentage ( %)      Decimal number      Mass in grams (g)        

Oxygen               65.0                         65/100 = 0.65         0.65*62000=40300

Carbon               18.0                           18/100 = 0.18         0.18*62000=  11160

Hydrogen            10.0                         10/100 = 0.10         0.10*62000=   6200

Nitrogen              3.0                           3/100 = 0.03          0.03*62000= 1860

Calcium               1.6                           1.6/100 = 0.016        0.016*62000= 992

Phosphorus         1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012        0.012*62000=744

Other elements   1.2                           1.2/100 = 0.012        0.012*62000=744
