What causes soggy chips?

On contact with the oil, the moisture on the surface of the chip, or any other food item, immediately vaporises, sending out volcanic jets of steam that spatter the oil. The exterior of the chip is now dry, mummified into a hard crust. ... At the same time, oil will seep in, making the food leaden and soggy.

What color is oil when it comes out of the ground?

Crude oil is usually black or dark brown, but can also be yellowish, reddish, tan, or even greenish.

Does oil drilling damage the earth?

Drilling for oil, both on land and at sea, is disruptive to the environment and can destroy natural habitats. Additionally, pipes to gather oil, roads and stations, and other accessory structures necessary for extracting oil compromise even larger portions of habitats.

What happens to oil wells when empty?

What happens to the empty space left behind when oil is withdrawn from the ground? In reality, empty space is not actually created! The oil is replaced by water and, in some cases, the formation will compact to a slight degree!

Are sinkholes caused by earthquakes?

Sinkholes can occur at any time and are not associated exclusively with earthquakes. In fact, there are few confirmed cases where sinkholes have opened because of natural earthquakes, although the seismic energy released from an earthquake could certainly trigger a collapse where underground cavities already exist.
