Name:
Where does oil come from? What is the basic material that makes up this vital
substance?
What role does carbon play in the creation of crude oil? What is unique about this
essential element?
How does phytoplankton and bacteria in nutrient-rich water contribute to the
formation of oil beneath the ocean floor? Explain.

process take place?
Why is oil so incredibly valuable as an energy source? What is exceptional about its
energy density?
How much oil does the average American use each day? How is this consumption
broken down?
What is the largest oil field on earth? Where is it located? How did the discovery of the
Gwar Reservoir affect the global demand for oil?

What do fossilized ginkgo plants tell us about the carbon dioxide levels of the Jurassic period? What did this super-greenhouse world look like? What are the global repercussions of our oil use? What does this mean for our climate in the future? What are the signs that this climate change has already begun? Crude oil is derived over millions of years from a long and complex process. Based on what you've learned from watching Crude , WRITE a concise, step-by-step timeline or flow char t for the evolution of crude, beginning with a description of the prehistoric atmospheric and oceanic conditions, and ending with a modern use of this vital energy source. Be sure to include the materials and processes that shape the production of crude oil. ( 15 points)
