Oil by Jarrett Wells https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi en-us 2019-03-26 00:22:58 UTC 2019-04-15 13:42:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Where does the energy come from? What materials are needed to produce the actual energy? What parts (countries or locations) does the energy source come from? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345055241 Oil is found in deep underground reservoirs and like other fossil fuels, this liquid is millions of years of decomposition of organic material. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we refer to as crude oil. Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is found all over the world]]> 2019-03-26 00:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345055241 How does each one of these generate energy? What is the process from raw materials to energy to used to charge your cell phone? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345057341 Once oil is extracted it can be used for things like gasoline for fuels
There are three main ways to convert oil into electricity:
1. Conventional steam - Oil is burned to heat water to create steam to generate electricity.
2. Combustion turbine - Oil is burned under pressure to produce hot exhaust gases which spin a turbine to generate electricity.
3. Combined-cycle technology - Oil is first combusted in a combustion turbine, using the heated exhaust gases to generate electricity. After these exhaust gases are recovered, they heat water in a boiler, creating steam to drive a second turbine.]]> 2019-03-26 00:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345057341 What are 4 advantages to using this source of energy? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345058152 1. High Energy Density 
 2. Easy Availability, Infrastructure for Transport and Use
3. Crucial for wide variety of Industries 
4. Constant Power Source and Reliability]]> 2019-03-26 00:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345058152 What are 4 disadvantages to using this source of energy? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345058808 1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
2. Pollution of Water and Earth 
3. Emission of Harmful Substances like Sulfur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Acid Rain
4. Leads to production of very harmful and toxic materials during refining]]> 2019-03-26 00:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345058808 What specific countries use this energy source? Are these most commonly used in MEDC or LEDC countries? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345059715 The three largest consuming countries are: United States, China, and India
It is commonly used all over the world not specifically MEDC or LEDC]]> 2019-03-26 00:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345059715 What advances in technology are being pursued for use of this energy source? What does the future hold for this energy source? What does the future use and availability look like? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345060238 Like many other industries, the oil and gas industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation. Unlike many other industries, however, oil and gas companies have been slow to adopt technological innovations on the software front. Better renewable energy technology and sources will eventually replace the use of oil as a combustible fuel but this will free it and other sources such as coal to be used to produce more sophisticated carbon products, hydrocarbons and polymers making it a feedstock rather than a fuel. At the rate of extraction we are said to have about 50 years of oil left on earth.]]> 2019-03-26 00:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345060238 What factors affect the choice of energy sources by different societies? (availability, economic, cultural, environmental, technological). Why would countries choose to use this source or not use this source? jarrettwells20 https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345061401 There are many factors affecting the choice to use this energy but it would probably be mostly because of economic or availability. Countries may not want to choose this because they cannot afford the industry, or because it is a nonrenewable source that is running out. As well as it is a great source of energy for thing such as electricity which in the end would produce a large profit.]]> 2019-03-26 00:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jarrettwells20/76fljlqf7pfi/wish/345061401
