Petroleum, from Medieval Latin petroleum, from Latin petra rocklatin: oleum oil is a naturally occurring, yellow-to-black liquid found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's surface, which is commonly refined into various types of fuels. It consists of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds. The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. Afossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected intense heat and pressure.

what is the raw material used to make plastic
A plastic material is any of a wide rang of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances, The chemical composition of plastics is different depending on what type of plastic your dealing with But for the most part the raw material of plastic is hydrocarbons found naturally in oil.

greatest scientist of all time
SIR ISAAC NEWTON
Sir Isaac Newton Born 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726 was an
English physicist and mathematician who
is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and
as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book PhilosophiƦ Naturalis
Principia Mathematica, first published
in 1687, laid the foundations for classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal
contributions to optics and shares credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the
invention of calculus.
Newton's Principia formulated the laws of motion and
universal gravitation, which dominated scientists' view of the physical
universe for the next three centuries. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary
motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same
principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession
of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the
validity of the heliocentric model of the cosmos. This work also demonstrated
that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies could be described
by the same principles. His prediction that the Earth should be shaped as an
oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the measurements of Maupertuis, La Condamine,
and others, which helped convince most Continental European scientists of the
superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.

where is the biggest zoo in the world
The Berlin Zoological Garden was opened in 1844 and is the
oldest zoo in Germany. Located in Berlin’s Tiergarten, the zoo is home to 1,500
species and 19,500 total animals. At this number, the Berlin Zoological Garden
holds the most comprehensive collection of species in the world. The zoo is
considered to be the most visited zoo in Europe and among one of the most
popular zoos worldwide
