HELP !! I Give Medals !!!! Describe what oil shale is and explain the advantages and disadvantages associated with its use and extraction.
You should get your biology textbook and look the term up in the glossary or whatever resource is in the back of the book. It will give an exact page. You need to know this for your final exam. Good luck. From wikipedia: "Shale oil, known also as kerogen oil or oil-shale oil, is an unconventional oil produced from oil shale by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. These processes convert the organic matter within the rock (kerogen) into synthetic oil and gas. The resulting oil can be used immediately as a fuel or upgraded to meet refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. The refined products can be used for the same purposes as those derived from crude oil."
thank you :)
