The document discusses the world's dependence on oil resources by explaining how oil is formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals, how it is refined into fuel and other products, and some of its widespread uses today such as fueling cars, ships and planes as well as generating electricity. However, it also notes problems with this reliance on oil, such as pollution from oil rigs and refineries, and asks questions about transitioning to more renewable energy sources and electric vehicles.

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:
