  2. Oil has to be drilled. Coal has to be mined. When drilling for oil, an oil spill might happen. When mining for coal, fires can start, which will obviously be bad.

  3. When extracting oil from the earth you put big machines in the ocean and poles run down into the ocean floor sucking up the oil. Some negative outcomes that this process can release chemicals and bad fuses into the air and sea.

    coal is mined, oil is collected by using big machines, and minerals are also mined.

  7. How some fossil fuels are extracted from the earth is by drilling. If your drilling for oil, it could backfire and blow up.

  8. oil is drilled and a negative thing is that the oil could leek out or start a fire.

  9. Coal can mined in deep caverns or in plain sight, also oil can be drilled into then sucked out. Some of the disadvantages are that, the drill can dig through the ground and cause the ground around it to start collapsing, which could be very dangerous. Also, mining the coal can catch fire, for example, if you are using a flint pickaxe to mine a small vein of coal, it could be flammable, and could of course, cause a fire.

  13. Fossil Fuels are drilled out of the ground. Negative things that can happen are, spending a lot of money on drills, and the drills breaking.

  15. They put drills in the ground and extract all the fossil fuels but the down side of this is that it can cause sink holes.

  16. We drill out oil,we mine coal,and pump gas.

  17. There are two types of methods to extract fossil fuels, they are above ground or underground miming. Some negative effects of these are making holes in the ground, and the money used for the tools to do this are expensive.

  18. Fossil Fuels are extracted from the earth by a drilling a drill 1000 meters down into the ground. Negative results that can happen to these processes if you go deep enough you can fall in water, like in Maine where we have so much water.

  19. When you extract oil from the earth you use a big machine on the sea that has large poles that suck the oil from the ocean floor. By doing this it can release chemicals that can be harmful to the air and ocean.

  20. We drill oil from the ground with pipes, a disadvantage is that oil floats on water and can harm water birds (ducts,loons,) or fish

  22. 2 of the ways we extract fossil fuels is drilling and mining. We mine in the ground to get coal using pickaxes. We drill the ground for one is to get oil from the ground. You want to be careful with oil because it can catch on fire.

  34. We drill the oil out of the ground and move it with a boat or an oil pipeline, the pipeline and boat could cause massive destruction if they malfunctioned.
