Geography

1. Why is the world so
dependent on oil
resources?

2. Key Terms:
- To understand what oil is and how it forms;
- To understand how oil is refined;
- To understand the varied uses of oil in our daily lives;
- Jadarit;
- The problem of oil rigs;
- Crude oil;

3. History:
- Today oil is used for:
● Fuel cars, ships and planes;
● To generate electricity;
The problem of electic cars →
1. Who is producing electricity for your electric car?
2. Where are you going to depose your car battery?
- Do you know what Jadarit is?
- Whale oil;
- At the beginning of the 18th
century

4. What is oil and how is it formed?
- Oil and coal are fossil fuels;
- They are called fossil fuels because they are formed from fossils of plants and sea creatures;
- Oil and Coal are not disturbed equally among the countries:
- Just think American invasion of Kuwait in 1992;
- There are three steps in how oil is formed:
1. Tiny sea and animal plants die and are buried on the ocena floor;
2. Over the period of time they are cover in layers of sediment and rocks;
3. Over the millions of years the enormous heat and pressure from the layers pressing down on them
turned them into oil and gas.
- The problem of oil rigs/platfomrs

5. Oil Refineries
● Crude oil → the term used to describe the oil extracted from the ground;
● Oil Refineries and Petrochemical factories → to make oil based products;
● Why do we still rely more on oil that on renewable energy source?

6. Oil pollutin:
