Fossil Story Paper Northeastern Illinois has a great deal of geological history hidden beneath the surface. If you just take a trip to the Larson Quarry or even Pit 11 you can find some interesting rock formations as well as fossils in them. But‚ if you cannot get to these areas‚ this paper can tell you what you can find in 5 different locations in Northeastern Illinois. We will be looking at Larson Quarry‚ Thornton Quarry‚ Mazon River‚ Pit 11‚ and the Glacial Drift which is at Palos Hills and

1. A. Fossil evidence has been used to support evolution. Paleontologists have dug up old bones and other things that were preserved in sedimentary rock. All of these things that were found show evidence that there was life long ago‚ however that’s not the only thing these fossils show. Fossils also show that there have been changes in the organisms that have inhabited this earth. The reason it supports that is once we compare the fossils to another organism‚ by using many different techniques‚ we

ago and was on earth at the sametime as homo habilis and homo erectus. Most of the australopithecus fossils that have been discovered have been found in eastern africa and have been dated between 4.5 million and 1.1 million years old. There has also been evidence that the australopithecus "man" lived in australia where fossils have also been found. The first discovery of an australopithecus fossil was made in 1924. The body of the australopithecus is smaller than humans‚ but biffer than chimpanzees

The Fossil Fuels Introduction Fossil Fuels are a non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in

6 Ocober 2013 Fossil Fuels and Alternate Energy Sources In the early 1900s‚ fossil fuels were the primary source of energy‚ but in more recent times with reserves diminishing and global warming becoming a major issue‚ we are forced to develop alternate sources of energy. According to Melosi‚ Governments became aware of the effects of fossil fuels as early as the 1950s‚ and in an attempt to combat this‚ they passed laws to try and lower the amount of pollution it caused (The Automobile and

Fossil Fuels: Rape of Nature {Student name here} {Class name here} {Professor Name here} {Due Date} Fossil Fuels‚ which include coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas‚ are a non-renewable energy source that were formed from the decomposition of plants and animals that were deposited in the Earth around 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels‚ after being removed from the Earth‚ are converted into energy and this energy is essential to modern society (Chughtai & Shannon‚ 1998). Over 85 percent

Fossil Fuels which include Petroleum and Natural Gas were formed million years ago from the remains of plants and animals‚ are responsible 40% and 20% respectively for the world ’s energy. They were first discovered about 700-900 years ago‚ however since the first modern petroleum industry began in 1859‚ the demand for fossil fuels has escalated beyond our control. It had taken 50-300 million years to form‚ and yet we have managed to burn roughly half of all global oil reserves in merely 125 years

Energy in the form of fossil fuels‚ can it meet all of society’s needs or is it time for us to look at other alternatives before it is too late? The increasing pollution and price of energy has once again ignited the debate about options for future energy. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits also known as coal‚ crude oil and gas derived from the remains of organic prehistoric plants and animals. They have taken many millions of years to form. Coal is ground to a fine dust when crushed and
