This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 54 CrudeOil, World's Most Important Source of Energy is typically Burned in Air, Crude Oil is World's Most Important Source of Energy, Ancient Organic Materials have evidently undergone Compression and Heating, Ancient Organic Materials likely Prehistoric Zooplankton, Burned in Air leads to Major Source of Greenhouse Gas, CO2, Burned in Air thus 2C8H18 + 25O2 >> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O + heat, Crude Oil is Complex Mixture of Hydrocarbon Chains, Ancient Organic Materials likely Algae, Naturally Occurring Liquid is found in Porous Rock Formations, Crude Oil alternatively called Petroleum, Complex Mixture of Hydrocarbon Chains has General Formula: CnH2n+2, Algae settle on Sea Floor, Naturally Occurring Liquid is trapped under Impermeable Formation (4 - 6 Km Deep), Crude Oil is Naturally Occurring Liquid, Prehistoric Zooplankton settle on Sea Floor, World's Most Important Source of Energy as a result of High Energy Density; Easy Transportation; & Abundance, Compression and Heating has taken place over Geological Time (Byrs), Prehistoric Zooplankton subsequently buried under Thick Sediments, Naturally Occurring Liquid is derived from Ancient Organic Materials, Complex Mixture of Hydrocarbon Chains range from C5H12 to C18H38
