Fossil fuels Fossil fuels The Bioregional Revolutionary Movement is a political organization promoting ecovillages, bioregionalism, permaculture, natural capitalism, and local currencies as solutions to what they perceive as a world of coverging problems. Among the problems, they see " peak oil" as the first of the many problems (including overpopulation, global epidemics such as bird flu, climate change, water scarcity, and ecological destruction) to affect us in the 21st century. This organization is associated with the Revolutionary Army for Nonviolence and Sustainability or RANS, ...more on Wikipedia about "Bioregional revolution"
Catagenesis is a term used in petroleum geology to describe the cracking process which results in the conversion of organic kerogens into hydrocarbons. ...more on Wikipedia about "Catagenesis (geology)"
In geology and oceanography, diagenesis is any chemical, physical, or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification, exclusive of surface alteration (weathering). These changes happen at relatively low temperatures and pressures and result in changes to the rock's original mineralogy and texture. Diagenesis is the lowest grade of metamorphism. ...more on Wikipedia about "Diagenesis"
Fossil fuels, also known as mineral fuels, are hydrocarbon-containing natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. The utilization of fossil fuels has fueled industrial development and largely supplanted water driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fossil fuel"
In chemistry, a hydrocarbon is any chemical compound that consists only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). They all contain a carbon backbone, called a carbon skeleton, and have hydrogen atoms attached to that backbone. (Often the term is used as a shortened form of the term aliphatic hydrocarbon.) ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrocarbon"
Hydrous pyrolysis refers to the chemical processes which take place when material is heated to high temperatures in the presence of water. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrous pyrolysis"
In petroleum geology, the maturity of a rock is a measure of its state in terms of hydrocarbon generation. Maturity is established using a combination of geochemical and basin modelling techniques. ...more on Wikipedia about "Maturity (geology)" Tell your friends about shortopedia
