1. What is in Gasoline? Gasoline is produced from a dark substance extracted from miles beneath the surface‚ called crude oil or petroleum. Millions of years ago‚ crude oil was created from fossil fuels of dead animals and plants that sank into the ocean’s bottom underneath rocks‚ dirt‚ and dust. Over time‚ the seclusion of corpses caused heat and pressure to increase instigating the bodies to decompose; and due to lack of oxygen‚ the remains formed mixture of chemical organic compounds made of hydrogen

Almost the entirety of both new product developments for both companies have seen significant increases in flying distance in comparison to previous models. Also‚ with the rising cost of fuel‚ the efficiency of design and materials has been become more important.

Can alternative energy effectively replace with fossil fuels? ‘’Fossil fuels are coal‚ natural gas and petroleum.’’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel) They are all organic residues. People use this for their energy‚ fuel and heating requirements. But fossil fuels polluting environment so much and people started to think about using alternative energy for their environment’s healthy. ‘’These alternative energy resources are windy power‚ solar energy and geothermal energy.‘’ (http://en

Coal is a solid fuel formed over millions of years by the decay of land vegetation. Over time‚ successive layers become buried‚ compacted and heated‚ a process through which the vegetation is turned into coal. This means that it’s not possible to keep it going since we can’t wait around for a few million years. Coal was the first fossil fuel to be exploited on a large scale during the 19th century with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Production of these fossil fuels is expected to rise

Firstly‚ of course the reason is about the traffic jam problem. The second are for fuel savings‚ and the last for our health. The first and most important reason is that can reduce the traffic jam. No more longer of jam in the streets‚ because people were gathered in one bus or car. It will make the people to leave their cars at home

Scientific and Economic Advantages and Disadvantages of Unconventional Fossil Fuels December 13‚ 2013 EES 402: Energy Issues in Geoscience Term Paper I. Introduction “Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted‚ those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction‚ we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.” –David Suzuki (Brainy Quote)
