What is radiation?

Answer 31

The transfer of energy in an empty space

Question 32

What color car is it better to have, and why?

Answer 32

A white car 🚙, if you choose a dark colored car it attracts the heat from the sun, if you have a white car 🚗 it reflects the heat from the sun ☀️

Question 33

How are fossil fuels formed?

Answer 33

Millions of years ago, plants 🌱 + animals died in seas or swamps, they were immediately covered and pressed down by sediment, mud and soil, sediments prevented oxygen from getting to the dead trees, this means that bacteria could not exist, which stopped dead organisms from decaying.
More and more layers of sediment buried the plant and animal remains deeper and deeper, more layers led to increased pressure, after millions of years the pressure of the layers of sediment and heat(90 to 120 degrees) from the earths core turned these remains into coal, oil and natural gas ⛽️

Question 34

How was oil and gas formed?

Answer 34

• the layers of sediment turned into porous stone, such as limestone and sandstone, which allowed oil or gas to seep through
• Cavities formed between the layers of rock. Oil or gas seeped through porous rocks and collected in the cavities
• The rocks formed above the cavities were non-porous. They kept the oil or gas trapped in the cavities
