In the previous chapter, we have depicted the evolutionary processes of oil formation and the industrial civilization. Of course, many other minerals have been formed through geological processes, but fossil fuels, and oil in particular, have some special characteristics. In this chapter we will explore the physical and chemical properties, resulting from the geological processes previously illustrated, which make fossil fuels unique.
