The Inca civilization had a highly organized agricultural system using terraces to grow crops like corn, potatoes, and quinoa. They stored surplus food by freeze drying it. Llamas were used as pack animals and for their wool, which was made into clothing. The Inca had specialized jobs and large cities made of stone with indoor plumbing. Their government was headed by the Sapa Inca, who was viewed as a god. People paid taxes to support the empire. They had an elaborate road system and traded throughout the empire without a monetary system. Record keeping was done using knotted string records called quipus.

Το πετρέλαιο ως πρώτη ύλη ΣΤ ΦΕ6
1.
2. Στα σύγχρονα διυλιστήρια, μετά την κλασματική απόσταξη γίνεται και δευτερογενής επεξεργασία του πετρελαίου. Στην πρωτογενή επεξεργασία παίρνουμε τα προϊόντα που η καύση τους απελευθερώνει μεγάλες ποσότητες ενέργειας . Η δευτερογενή επεξεργασία μάς δίνει πολύτιμες πρώτες ύλες . Τα προϊόντα αυτά ονομάζονται πετροχημικά . Τα κυριότερα είναι τα πλαστικά, τα απορρυπαντικά, τα χρώματα, τα συνθετικά υφάσματα, κάποια λιπάσματα, μερικά καλλυντικά ...
3. Όπως βλέπεις στο παραπάνω διάγραμμα κατά την πρωτογενή επεξεργασία των χημικών ενώσεων που αποτελούν το αργό πετρέλαιο, τα προϊόντα χρησιμοποιούνται είτε σαν καύσιμα, είτε σαν πρώτες ύλες, που με τη σειρά τους σε μια δευτερογενή επεξεργασία παίρνουμε πλήθος προϊόντων που ονομάζονται πετροχημικά. Τα κυριότερα είναι τα πλαστικά, οι συνθετικές υφάνσιμες ύλες, τα ελαστικά, τα απορρυπαντικά, τα καλλυντικά, τα μονωτικά, τα χρώματα, τα φάρμακα κλπ

5. Τα πετροχημικά εργοστάσια ανήκουν στη βαριά βιομηχανία και μολύνουν σημαντικά το περιβάλλον . Η λειτουργία τους μειώνει την εισαγωγή πολλών προϊόντων και επιφέρει μεγάλα κέρδη.
6. Αυτά τα προϊόντα είναι χρήσιμα γιατί έχουν κάποιες ειδικές ιδιότητες. Τα πλαστικά π. χ. είναι ανθεκτικά και χρησιμοποιούνται σε πολλές εφαρμογές. Τα απορρυπαντικά εξαλείφουν λεκέδες, χωρίς να καταστρέφουν τα ρούχα κλπ. Τα πετροχημικά ανήκουν στη λεγόμενη βαριά βιομηχανία και βαρύνουν σημαντικά το περιβάλλον. Από την άλλη μεριά η λειτουργία τους όμως αποφέρει σημαντικά κέρδη στην οικονομία του κράτους, γιατί μειώνονται οι εισαγωγές σε προϊόντα ευρείας κατανάλωσης.
7. Ιδιαίτερη προσοχή πρέπει επίσης να δείχνουμε στην καθαριότητα του περιβάλλοντος από τους τόννους σκουπιδιών από πλαστικό που συγκεντρώνονται καθημερινά, αφού πολλές συσκευασίες είναι μιας χρήσης και καταλήγουν στα σκουπίδια. Το φαινόμενο είναι ακόμα πιο έντονο στις μεγαλουπόλεις και θα πρέπει να ληφθούν όλα τα κατάλληλα μέτρα ώστε να αποφευχθεί η μόλυνση του περιβάλλοντος (μείωση χρήσης, ανακύκλωση, εναλλακτικά προϊόντα,
