Hahahaha, I am just going to take two comments. Number one, Plate Tectonics. Anything within one plate will be carried deeper into the earth as one plate slides under another. Number two... flat earth came from Europe, as well as creationism, where those you refer to as American came from.
The World is a 'multitasker' Wahbooz, is it not? There is more than one mechanism ( wrong word sorry can't come up with a more appropriate one at this mo) going on at any given time, isn't there?
starting to feel better, today... went for a walk in the 95 degrees today trying to flush the last of this monster from my system. But my brain is back on, and the body doesn't hurt anymore.
Well, it was quite by accident that they discovered oil in wells already pumped dry in the Gulf of Mexico... but there was enough to reopen production in a couple of them.
So where is all this oil you claim is rising up out of the earth, and filling those reservoirs, coming from. Are you trying to tell me there is a vast ocean of oil deep in the core of the earth and rising up? You lose me with your theory, but I'll just accept your believing that.
A slag heap fell on a Welsh school years ago, killing all the children in the school. Soon after that I worked for the dept that dealt with 'slag' --- not for long I was a temp --- they found so many ways of using it when this heart tragedy forced it upon them.
the oil is being produced - somehow - where the mantle rubs with the crust. Plate tectonics has a byproduct; volcanic activity... and volcanic activity is producing the oil. If oil was just another fossil fuel, wouldn't we find it side by side with coal? (yes)
"somehow".... Ok, Days, see you later.
clean coal technology does deal with those byproducts. The state of Colorado fully implements clean coal technologies on all its power plants for the Denver and Colorado Springs areas. Perhaps all we really need here in Chicago is to get up to speed with adding the chemicals into the burning process?
yeah, we don't know everything, but we do know where the oil is coming from... it is being produced 5 miles deep, we have mapped the planet for oil reserves and there is oil all over this planet... 5 miles deep.
"5 miles deep". So now you're trying to tell me you don't even get out of the crust, and you're where all the oil is. That isn't even anywhere near even the mantle.
My understanding of the mantle is that it is solid rock... mostly granite, I think. How would that produce oil? But the friction that takes place between the mantle and the crust, resulting in heated rock - molten elements - is a soup of chemical reactions, and one of the things that gets produced (roughly 5-7 miles deep) is crude oil... and lots of different types of crude oil.
First of all, the lithosphere can be as much as 35 miles deep, and then you get into the crust, which can be another 20 miles. You're not even into the upper part of the mantle, which can go from another 20-30 miles. So your description of oil being produced 5-7 miles down, by way of your explanation is not plausible to me.My understanding of the mantle is that it is solid rock... mostly granite, I think.

Exxon mapped the planet for oil - ELF wave technology - and there's way more "deep oil" than we can begin to process. The trick is to safely drill to those depths.
I disagree. Coal is less efficient than natural gas, and far dirtier. I've worked in power plants, and I've disassembled boilers.
Who says oil can't be found with coal, or even natural gas? They all come from what is referred to as the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic period, when the earth was covered with flora. And some coal comes from the Cretaceous period, perhaps that coal is what you're referring to.
Okay, then there's no tectonic plates sliding on the mantle? And the drawing of what is common knowledge is incorrect? Doesn't the lithosphere include the crust at the top and the mantle at the bottom? Isn't this just a more exact description of how the mantle meets the crust?
I've set up the staging for that type of work, been in almost every boiler in Michigan, myself.
No argument that coal is a fossil fuel, but what I am referring to is where 99% of the coal is found (within the first 2 1/2 miles down) and where 95% of the oil is found (over 3 miles deep)... they are located in very separate regions of the earth. Hence, they are not both the product of the same creation process.
Let me reword this for you, and then I'm heading for bed, I'm tired. The lithosphere can be as much as 35 miles deep, and the crust is part of that, but it is at the most 22 miles deep. From there you reach a transitional layer called the Moho, named after Mohorovicic who discovered it in the 20th century. That sits between the upper crust and the mantle. So as I said, I fail to see how any interaction between the crust and the upper mantle produces oil that you say is found 5-7 miles deep. I know of no molten activity at this depth, but much deeper. I believe you'll find you are getting to a depth of about 100 km, or 62 miles, before you find molten activity. I could be wrong, it's been a long time.
They are found in the same geologic time period. The earth's crust is not an exact depth in all areas of the earth.
