What is Energy Resource Formation and Extraction about?
Coal forms from plant material trapped in sediment in areas like swamps and shallow seas. It is found in seams near where it formed. Oil and natural gas form from marine organisms trapped in shale and migrate to reservoirs. They are often found together but can occur separately. Nuclear minerals are extracted through mining uranium-containing minerals like uranite. Nuclear power plants use various isotopes like U-235 to initiate and sustain fission reactions that generate heat to power turbines.
