That
is why hydrocarbons are very important in our life, because we use it everyday
...
And Hydrocarbons are also used as a form of energy by means of fuel and fossil
fuels are one of the main sources of fuel in the world and that is somehow good because
Fossil fuels can generate huge amounts of electricity, they are everywhere and that also mean
that they are really cheap, and they can be easily transported
...
Also when coal is burnt it emmits sulphur dioxide
which is the main cause of acid rain
...
A recent study show that hydrocarbons can be
Formed deep in the earth from methane not animal remains
...
Surprisingly methane can fuse into different carbon molecules which means
methane could really form hydrocarbons at a certain temperature under the earth’s crust
...

Hydrocarbons are important they make hard things simple, they make our lives more
enjoyable, these things are our source of electricity, they are capable of preserving
the food that we eat by means of refrigeration
...
Therefore we can say that hydrocarbons could be
really helpful in terms of our daily living but these things cause trouble to the environment
which is bad
...
Sulphur dioxide- toxic gas with a pungent,irritating and rotten smell
...
Simulation- imitation of a real world process using a computer
...
Fossil fuels- anaerobic decomposition of dead organic organisms
...
Polymer- a large molecule with a lot of subunits
...
Acid rain- rain that possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions
