Oil is one of the most used items in the modern day society. You would think it's easy to acquire, unfortunately it is not. Oil is formed from the remains of plants and animals that was in the ocean many millions of years ago. The remains got covered in all sorts of things. When more layers came upon each other heat and pressure works on the source and turns into oil. For oil to be kept you must have a source, a reservoir and a lid. Unfortunately people cannot make oil or attain it by them selves. Big oil companies spend millions of dollars to get this liquid and sell it to the world. In 1996 1,047,200 million barrels of oil. Its running out. Especially because the USA is the top oil consumer in the world. Its up to the next generation to preserve natural wonders.
