Document Summary
Increased heat and pressure reduces moisture and volatiles and increases c. the more. When you do that then they have to put it somewhere. In the appalachians they have been cutting off mountaintops and putting the sediment in streams, which then pollute the rivers: coal commonly contains a sulfide mineral acid mine drainage: Oxidation of pyrite, fes2, 4fes2 + 15 o2 + 8h20 = fe2o3 + 8h2so4: this reaction produces rust (hematite) and sulfuric acid, pyrite is common in more rocks including coals, and especially common in ores. 1,000,000,000 barrels per day while the government says only. 2008 there were no more than three quakes a year of that size in the state: deep-water horizon drilling platform- dynamically positioned, i. e. , not tied to sea floor. Well was to be drilled to 13,000 ft below seabed in. 5,100 ft water: bp deep-water oil spill in april 20, 2010. It causes 11 deaths, 17 injuries, and 4. 9 million bbls oil spilled.
