Presentation Transcript

  1. Oil and Natural Gas

  2. Oil and Natural Gas • Oil • Formed from small, dead ocean organisms that sink to the bottom and get covered by layers of rock and dirt • Natural Gas • Methane • Cleanest of fossil fuels

  3. HOW ARE OIL AND GAS MADE ???

  4. Uses for Oil and Natural Gas • Transportation (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) • Asphalt • Heating • Cooking • Plastics • Lubricants

  5. Oil Spills • Accidental release of liquid petroleum (oil) into the environment • Examples: • Oil ship wrecks • Leak in oil pipeline

  6. Methods for Cleaning an Oil Spill • Bioremediation: using microorganisms or biological agents to break down or remove oil • Dredging: some oils sink, cleaning below the surface of the water • Skimming: cleaning oil off of surface • Dispersion: materials, such as some detergents can disperse oil into small clusters that may be easier to remove than larger areas • Burning: Can eliminate large amount of oil in the water, but causes air pollutions

  7. Materials • Rubber bands • Paper towel • String • Cotton ball • Plastic wrap • Popsicle sticks • Toothpick • Balloons • Suction tube • Spoon • Soap • Sand • Windex • Kitty litter
