Question

Hello, l'm Oil I want to tell you about myself. My scientific name is Petroleum. It

comes from two Latin words Petra' and 'oleum' - which mean oil from rocks.

Hai

lam oil

Because that's where 1 live. Millions of years ago. plants and animals died and were

buried As time went on, they were pushed deeper and deeper and

deeper leading to a tremendous increase in pressure. From this I

was born. I'm not found eerywhere. Earlier people could find me

only if I visited the surface .Now, they spend billions of rupees and a lot of effort to

dig deep into the earth, often also under the ocean, to bring me out. Then they take

me to the refinery. There they clean me up and take me out in various forms such as petrol, diesel,

kerosene, cooking gas, plastics, paints etc.You must be wondering why I'm given

so much importance .hat's because without me cars motorcycles, buses, trains,

planes, machinery would all come to a stop .Your mother may have to cook using

wood .The world would become a much tougher and darker place to live in. The

sad part is, even though so important. people keep on wasting me .They go for long

trips in cars and scooters which are always not necessary .They speed around

needlessly. They leave lights and fans on as if it were limitless.Ah! This makes me

very sad .Because there is only so much of me Very soon I won't be anymore. I

want to be as useful as I can; before I go away For this I need your help. Please keep your eyes and

ears open and speak out if you see me being wasted. If you can I'll will here much longer as your

friend.
