Introduction:
To gather information to
construct this page, I searched the web to find sites that answered typical
questions that may arise when thinking about oil consumption and anything related.
The site displays great information for all ages. Many of the sites contain the
desired data in a graph form or written text. One of the sites is very
interactive and useful to collect data for your own country and/or countries
that interest you.
How
do you measure oil consumption?
This site is good for extra knowledge about different types
of energy, facts and figures, and renewable resources. Also, to find out why
they use barrel instead of any other unit of measurement. The link goes
directly to a child’s based info section, but if you go to the main page, that is
where you will find the facts and figures.

Find out the
human to car ratio for your country.
This site is also useful if you want to
find out and other type of information about your country and it also allows
you to compare your country’s data to others.

Also, go to this site for other oil reserves
information.
While fossils fuels are consumed, CO2 is emitted into the
atmosphere. The carbon cycle plays a key role in taking carbon monoxide out
of the air. Autotrophs (organisms that make there own food) use the carbon
monoxide to make glucose, which is food for plants. The autotrophs then put
out oxygen (O2) because they don’t need it. Click here to see how the carbon cycle works. ·
What are the certain types of emissions? ·
Have you ever wondered how much of the sacred fossil
fuels we have used or not used? This website gives a wide view of different
aspects of oil and fossil fuels, how it effects species (if there are
complication such as oil spills), and there are many graphs that give you
ideas of how the oil wealth is distributed.
