How to form coal
swamp (burial of plant materials) –> heat + pressure
how to form petroleum and natural gas
marine plants and animals –> burial –> heat + pressure
features of structural trap (kind)
anticlinal trap:
- source rock *organic rich (generation)
- potential migration route (migration)
- reservoir rock (permeable and porous)
- cap rock (impermeable)
Kinds of renewable energy: solar wind hydropower tidal geothermal biomass
solar: solar panels (sunlight to dc), inverter (dc to ac), power homes or used in grid
wind: rotate turbine, turn generator, produce electricity, transformers increase voltage
hydropower: turbine - generator
biomass: plant/wood products - biomass - power plant - co2 - trees
Features in geothermal energy
- heat source
- working fluid
- reservoir rock
- cap rock
conduction
convection
radiation
conduction - contact
convection - molecular motion of liquid
radiation - energy in form of waves or particles

Types of aquifer:
perched

unconfined
perched: isolated water table
confined: with permeable rock layer
unconfined: free interaction
Water cycle
Precipitation - Inflitration(ground water storage) - groundwater discharge - evaporation (transpiration) - condensation
