Journal Entry

To me the people that are at fult in the oil spill are the people that made the rig and the government for not making sure it was gonna work. They might have tried to stop it but not really it was poring galons and galons of oil into the water and all they did was have meetings to try to stop it with out really going out there and stopping it. So for a punishment I think that the government that owned the rig should pay for all the damages and be sued for a lot of money to make the place the same as it was. So I think that the government that made the oil rig should pay but also our government for letting them put it their so its really also our fault for demanding the need for oil so much so to me a lot of people are at fault here.

what is coal and how is it made coal?

Coal is a black rock-like which is most of the time burned for heat it is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and and some sulphur. How it is formed is dead plant material builds up and makes peat, which is the first step. Then it is caked together with other sedimentary rock to make lignite. Then after more build up and heat and pressure it makes coal.
