petroleum
Petroleum is important because we can use it to make other chemicals, we can use it for fuel such as fuel for jets all kinds of things. We can find petroleum below several thousand feet of silt, sand, dirt and mud.We can use to make and power things.
Natural Gas Natural gas is important because it is much cleaner to burn than oil because it does not have sulfur in it. Some of our natural gas comes from offshore digging and when it was discovered no one used it for anything instead they burned it. Natural gas is used to produce heat and light. coal Coal is used to heat homes. Coal is found in a plant that is burned in sediment. Coal is used to generate electricity. Coal can be used to give heat and electricity people. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy and uranium can make a nuclear reactor which we can use to make things. we can use it to power some ships and submarines. Natural gas is used to produce electricity. Natural gas can be used to produce electricity that we use to heat up water and make steam. Hydroelectric Energy Water flows from the reservoirs and turn the turbines and the turning of the turbines makes electricity. We can make electricity easier than before. But it take a lot of building to do this. Geothermal Energy We pump hot water or use heat to make steam this allows geothermal energy to be renewable. We can make electricity this way but geothermal plants are expensive to build. Wind Energy Wind turns the 100ft blades on a windmill that generates electricity. Scientists haven't been able to find out how to store the electric power from the windmills but the electricity can give us electric for our homes. Solar Energy Solar panels contain tubes of water that are heated by the son and carried to a storage tank to be used in the house. The solar panels could take away the solar energy from the plants but the process heats our homes. |
