(b) | Explore the physical and chemical characteristics of different samples of crude oil. |
(c) | Compare the different types of coal (e.g., lignite, bituminous and anthracite). |
(d) | Summarize the physical and chemical characteristics of different samples of coal. |
(e) | Describe the natural processes that produced oil, gas and coal in Saskatchewan during the Carboniferous period. |
