Oil Station With High Oil Prices

The passage I will analyze in this close reading is from the works of Theodore

From the 1890s, as a result of discovery and drilling of some of the most productive oil fields in the world, the small town of Los Angeles suffered a big change. By 1930, California was producing nearly one quarter of the world's oil output, and its population had grown to 1.2 million. In the flowing decades, urban and suburban area grew quickly, surrounding by closeness and more openness of the oil wells. People found ways to camouflaged machinery, decreased loud noises, vented methane pockets, as residents had to live closely to those oil production facilities. Until now days, oil fields in the Los Angeles Basin remain very productive. By applying modern techniques, operations can be conducted in smaller areas, and some of them have been moved offshore. However, there are still some oil fields and drilling activities hiding among the shopping malls, sports sites and residences of Los Angeles.

The oil production in Canada has several significant issues that depict the destruction nature of the industry. These issues can be categorized as environmental, political, economic, and social. The environmental issues lead the pack; in that the environmental destruction associated with the industry is extensive. The environmental problems are climatic, land, water and air related (Best & Hoberg, 2015). Under climatic effect, studies indicate that the development of the tar sides has resulted to three times more greenhouse gases (GHGs) than in production of conventional oil. These environmental issues are caused by the composition of the tar sands. Unlike the convention oil, tar sands are a mixture of bitumen and sand. The process of separating the two results triples GHGs emissions when compared to conventional oil production (Koring, 2013).

Hundreds upon thousands of millionaires, new cities and towns, and a plethora of jobs are birthed out of one black goo. Oil. Ever since January of 1901, oil has been spewing out of hundreds of oil rigs all over Texas, bringing cities and people with them. Oil changed Texas from a place with very few cities to a place with cities all over. The oil would be found in a remote place and within the month 2000 people would live there, hoping to get rich from oil.

Ichnology, the study of trace fossils, is the principal study in following and learning about trace fossils and how these fossil types indicate habitats. Ichnologists can use trace fossils, such as a track way and walking patterns of dinosaurs, to determine the specific area a dinosaur walked on, which can express a dinosaur species preferred habitat. By examining sedimentary layers and structures, ichnologists can use fossilized tracks to determine what specific habitat a species of dinosaur lived in. The use of uniformitarianism can be used to conclude what specific environment a dinosaur lived in through sedimentary structures. Ichnology uses tracks to determine what habitat a dinosaur inhabited by the pattern that a dinosaur walked in. With nests, Ichnologists can use information to determine what habitat a species of dinosaur lived in to ensure a safe environment for the eggs. Ichnologists can determine if a species of dinosaur stayed in a specific environment by studying the walking patterns of track ways and the indications of dinosaur nests. Ichnologists use track ways and nests to determine preferred habitats due to a plethora of trace fossils that a species of dinosaur can make in its

Would you really want to be responsible for destroying the animals home and the environment? The United States has a huge debate whether or not We should drill for oil in Alaska’s wilderness. But the answer seems pretty clear to me because it is not essential for our economy ,it is not valuable for the environment, and it is causing a social disruption. In the background essay, it says that many colonies We're not concerned about protecting our natural resources because they thought they had enough natural resources to last forever; But We don't, We are limited and some day in the not too distant future we may run out of natural resources so we have to circumspect and start protecting it by using other materials such

The La Brea tar pits have been well-known for over a century. Before the rise of European settlers, local Indian tribes used the tar to caulk canoes and waterproof tents. As the Industrial Revolution took off the early 1900s, the tar pits attracted oil men, as asphaltum is often associated with petroleum. Then,

Oil was first thought to be discovered in the state of Louisiana in 1868 by the Louisiana Oil and Coal Company fifteen miles west of Lake Charles. However, the Louisiana Oil and Coal Company was unsuccessful at drilling oil but the company did find extensive sulfur deposits. (Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association. (n.d.).

Crude oil plays a vital role in the daily lives of Los Angeles County residents. Oil is refined into petroleum products that are consumed daily in a myriad of ways. Some of these uses include operating a vehicle, heating a home, producing electric power, and manufacturing plastics. One city in Los Angeles County was created in response to the induction of a crude oil refinery.

The mastodon slaughter site on Emanuel Manis' property was found when he was burrowing through six feet of peat to make a little lake. Manis discovered two fossilized tusks that he thought had a place with

Layers of soil are laid down on dead animals or plants embalming them. The minerals replace the organic matter creating the fossil.

Recently the price for the Canadian had drop drastically from. This was possibly due to the oil crash that occurred in Alberta. Due to the large supply of oil in the Middle East, the price of oil has dropped drastically, which meant that the price of oil in Alberta also dropped. Although the price of oil has lingered about $35-40 a barrel, the break even price is $70 a barrel. The oil crash that occurred in Alberta has brought grim news as unemployment in Alberta has increased drastically.

The author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks in their search for fossils because amphibians that look dissimilar to fish were discovered in 365 million year old rocks, while fish without amphibian characteristics were discovered in 385 million year old rocks. Thus, it is possible that the evolutionary intermediary, or the “missing link” between fish and amphibians, would be discovered in 375 million year old rocks, between the two time periods. The rocks examined were sedimentary in composition, as the gradual and relatively gentle formation of sedimentary rock under conditions of mild pressure and low heat are conducive to the fossilization of animal remains. Sedimentary rock is also often formed in rivers and seas, where animals are likely to live. This site provides a resource that describes means by which fossils are formed and how the fossil record may be interpreted, and shows some examples of fossils demonstrating evolution through geological periods: http://www.fossilmuseum.net/fossilrecord.htm. In 2004, Shubin and his colleagues were looking for fossils on Ellesmere Island, in northern Canada. This location was chosen because of its lack of human development, as well as of obstructing natural formations and life forms such as trees, which

2.3) it was formed through a process of fossilization. Meaning when the massopondylus died, the bones were naturally kept in the right conditions for the to be preserved as fossil . The heat pressure from being buried in sediment can sometimes cause the tissues of an organism to release hydrogen and oxygen, leaving behind a trace of carbon this helps the dead organism to print itself on a sedimentary rock. This process is also known as carbonation or distillation

Pacific Oil Company is a Sweetwater Oil company of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was founded in 1902. One of the major chemical lines of Pacific's is the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM).
