The largest oil reserve which constitutes about 1/3 of the worlds oil in Saudi Arabia peaks in 2008. It is very difficult to quantify if it has or hasn't on a global scale, as many nations have passed peak oil, many haven't, and a few aren't saying how much they have. Add to that there is chance for future prospecting (although discoveries have slumped heavily)
It was powerful enough to destroy my hometown of Galveston....It was a Cat:2 when it made its landfall on the Texas coast. It was at category 4 strength when it reached peak intensity.
Yes.
Urban centralization reached its peak in the US in 1900
Peak oil is the theory that there is some point at which the production of oil can no longer expand, and will instead begin to contract. This is a very controversial theory, and some experts believe we have reached or will reach it soon. It presumes however that there are no other places from which oil is developed which we have not already found, but may discover later. If peak oil has been reached, then the supply of oil across the globe can be expected to begin declining. Again, this is one of many theories concerning oil currently.
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline.
The definition of peak oil, depending on who you ask, is slightly different; some say it is the last point when our demand for fossil fuels is met by oil production, while others define it as the time when maximum global oil production is reached, and declines hereafter. Regardless of semantics, the theory of peak oil basically states that at our current, rapidly expanding rate of oil consumption, we will reach a point in time when oil production will no longer meet our needs. Those who believe in peak oil theory will state that, either we are approaching peak oil (in the next 10, 15, or 20 years), or we are already at the point of peak oil. After the point of peak oil, because supply is not meeting demand, there will be accelerated hikes in gas prices (and since most food and product manufacturing requires oil), there will be hyperinflation in the economy.
It reached a peak in the Holocaust.
they reached their peak in the 1300s
in America the unemployment rate reached nearly 25%at its peak.
No. It just seems like that but we still can keep going in many different ways.
