1 Molecular Compounds in Action
Fossil Fuels

2 Fossil Fuels are molecular compounds coal, oil and natural gas
formed from decayed remains of ancient plants and animals made up of hydrocarbons non-renewable cannot be formed as quickly as we use them Movie Clip: Sources of Oil

3 Petrochemicals fossil fuel compounds are processed into petrochemicals
make a variety of products plastics cosmetics paint, carpet medication etc...

4 Oil Spills oil and gas deposits are localized
must transport across the world accidents can happen

5 Exxon Valdez Spill 1989 Off the Coast of Alaska
up to 750,000 barrels of oil Death of seabirds, sea otters, river otters, seals, orcas, bald eagles, salmon

6 Fragile Habitats Spill off the coast of Australia
the Great Barrier Reef April 2010 good management

7 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill 4.9 million barrels Biggest spill in history
