Oil
How is Oil made? � Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in the sea before the dinosaurs.
� Over millions of years, the remains of these animals and plants were covered by layers of sand silt.
� Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil. The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth. "
How do Scientists Find Oil? Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. � Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. � Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface. � � http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=g. Rqgyn. Lmjow
