Off Shore Drilling My topic is on off- shore drilling. It refers to the discovery and development of gas and oil which lie underwater through drilling a well. This content will tell you the pros and cons of this event and what it’s doing to our community. We’ll know what off-shore drilling is suppose to do for our economy in this review. I’ve started out my research with and branched off of it to and clicked on “Just how dangerous are oil rigs.” (secondary source) On April 20‚ 2010

To prevent gasoline prices from having devastating effects on the economy it has been proposed that all gasoline prices in the United States be fixed at the average price for the last two years. For simplicity it will be assumed that this price is $2.50 per gallon. When equilibrium prices are under $2.50 per gallon the excess payments will be kept in a government fund. When retail prices exceed $2.50 per gallon money from this fund will be distributed to pay the difference. Do you think that this

How will the technology advancements in deep sea oil drilling affect the ongoing competition for resources among countries? IR 310: Peace and conflict Studies November 25‚ 2013 Abstract: The goal of this paper is to identify the potential risks that may arise as technology advances are made in extracting natural resources. The focus point will be on deep sea drilling for oil. As the demand for oil increases due to the growth in the world’s population and economies‚ the search for oil

How Chromatography Helps The Human Race Chromatography is the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates. “Chromatography is done by making of a mixture move past the solids‚ or across the surface of a solid‚ like paper. The mixture is poured onto a solid surface. As the different components of the liquid run down the solid‚ some of them move more slowly than other. A component

• Natural gas is an odorless‚ colorless‚ flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air. • The gas chiefly consists of methane (CH4)‚ but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ butane‚ propane and naphtha. Oil and gas deposits in the North Sea were formed millions of years ago through the decomposition and transformation of organic matter (plant and animal remains). In its primary form‚ natural gas can be used for residential heating and cooking‚ for industrial purposes

Electricity from Natural Gas Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants and animals originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of carbon in natural gas. Natural gas is combusted to generate electricity‚ enabling this stored energy to be transformed into usable power. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource because it cannot be replenished on a human time frame

Mustard Gas During World War I LOST was the original name for mustard gas‚ it was named after Lommel and Steinkopf. They were the first people who proposed this gas to the military to use as a weapon in 1916. Although mustard gas could possibly been developed as early as 1822 by a French chemist‚ Cesar-Mansuete Desperetez. Thirty-two years later Alfred Riche repeated this reaction of the sulfur dichloride and ethylene‚ but both Riche and Desperetez did not note any harsh properties. In 1860‚
