  3. What is it used for ? Petroleum Coal Well one is to make electricity, also industrial retail use it , the steel industry and exports companies use it also. • It is used for gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, fuel oil, some types of alcohol, benzene, heavy naphtha, different grades of lubricating oils and residuum. We also use it to generate electricity , and to make plastic in cars, houses, toys, computers and clothing. Asphalt used in road construction is a petroleum product as is the synthetic rubber in the tires.

  4. What is the effect of the use of these resources on the earth? Petroleum Coal Well first getting coal from its source, the earth's crust, is a very harmful and polluting to the landscape. And also burning coal creates to much pollution that affects earth • This can cause global warming, there is also extraction and also oil spills. Which of course that dirties our ocean. Oil spills are usually a main effect on the earth.

  5. What is the effect of the use of these resources on organisms Petroleum Coal Well coal when you burn it , it affects the air which gets polluted and that affects the lungs of other organisms. • In the previous slide I mentioned that it can crate oil spills and this can kill animals. This affect birds, mammals, shellfish and other organisms it can coast.

  6. How are they turned into useful energy? Petroleum Coal Well we use coal for generating electricity mainly. The rest we use for industry's and exports. Which it also make plastic and tar. • They are used for plastic or gasoline. Which these helps us make things and we use gasoline for our cars. Or lubricants like motor oil or other machines.

  7. Describe some dangers using and transporting these resources Petroleum Coal Well when we get coal we have to dig mines which is very dangerous to the people working there. And resorting this is very hard. • This creates pollution when we use petroleum. Also one of the big things that is very dangers is when we transport them and we can cause oil spills. Which hurt earth and dirties our oceans.

  8. 6.Describe an actual incident that caused damage to the environment Petroleum disaster in Louisiana Coal disaster The only thing I found was that in Mexico there was a coal accident that had trap 14 miners. And that it was also a very bad site. • On April 20th an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon exploratory oil rig. This explosion caused the oil rig to sink into the Gulf of Mexico and also caused the piping used to transport the unprocessed oil to the rig was broken resulting in the leaking of oil into the Gulf. Experts have estimated that approximately 19 million gallons of oil has leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. The amount of oil released surpassed the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in 1989 as the largest oil spill in the history of the United States.
