Question
Ch 7: As you can see in the image, the Sinclair Oil Conpamy's logo speaks directly to the "fossil" nature of the fuel it sells. Hovever, is it likely that any dinosaur carbon has ended up in Sinclair's oil? PLEASE EXPLAIN
Ch 6: In chapter 4 you learned that feldspars are very common minerals in igneous rocks. When you learn about the common minerals that compose sedimentary rocks in Chapter 7, you will find that feldspars are relatively rare. Applying what you have learned about chemical weathering, explain why this is true. Based on this explanation, what mineral might you expect to be the common in sedimentary rocks that are not found in igneous rock?
Sunclair DINO GASOLINEExplanation / Answer
Ch7. No dinosaur carbon has ended up in SInclair contrary to the popular belief as advertised by the company logo because the oil contains organic matter that has undergone tremendous force and pressure over all the years. Dinosaur bones did not contribute to fossil fuels.
Ch 6. Feldspars are relatively less in sedimentary rocks as they tend to break down into clay minerals. Based on this, K-Feldspar or Potassium Feldspar is common in sedimentary rocks.
