While searching the web determine the following:
How oil is created and trapped deep under the earth
How we uncover that oil and bring it to the surface
In your research find and define the words in the chart below. Aim at an understanding of how you would used these terms as they are related to the formation and mining of oil.
Because here is the kicker - you will include the words in your song.
You must include them all:
sediments
decomposition
kerogen
pressure
permeable or permeability
organic
reaction
reservoir rock
heat or temperature
hydrocarbons
carbon dioxide
burning
water
porosity or pores
trap
Grading - Your song should do the following:
Creatively demonstrate an understanding of concept/content through the song.
State from three to five important points to remember.
State the main idea/theme clearly and concisely.
Have few grammatical, syntax and/or spelling errors.
Assist the listener in understanding the topic/content.
Being that this is the first assignment of the week and, despite it being Wednesday, no one has done it yet, I'm going to guess I'm not the only one struggling.
The first step, I figured, was connecting all of the words to oil and then trying to make them rhyme or something...somehow. I'm going to try to write a poem instead as I don't know the first thing about writing songs and I don't think he'll mind. I'll put down the information I've found thus far...
I have a question first though...when talking about oil, can I change that to petroleum? I mean, he gave us three sites to use but I'm not entirely sure if petroleum and oil are the exact same thing or if petroleum is a type of oil. Either way, two of the three sites he directed us two talk quite a bit about petroleum so I wanted to check first...
reservoir rock: Sometimes, the petroleum and natural gas would slowly fill the tiny holes within nearby porous rocks, which geologists call reservoir rocks.
water: oil is formed under wet conditions
heat/temperature & pressure: both are required to make oil
porosity/pores: oil gets trapped in pores
trap: oil gets trapped in pores
