The Athabasca oil sands are large deposits of bitumen, a heavy and unconventional oil found in Northern Alberta, Canada. These reserves are one of the largest sources of oil in the world, but extracting and processing bitumen is resource-intensive and has environmental implications.
the oil sands is found in Alberta and is a natural recourse! People often visits the oil sands to make an adventure and to learn more about the oil sands!!!

Western Oil Sands was created in 1975.
The population of Canadian Oil Sands is 2,008.
Canadian Oil Sands was created in 1978.
Oil sands are bad because when they make the oil sands into gasoline it causes a lot of pollution. It's good because The gasoline we make out of it makes Canada a lot of money since the oil sands are in Alberta, Canada.
Bituminous sands are oil sands , tar sands and more tecnically they're an unconventional petroleum deposit . I hope I hlped you!!
Tar sands or oil sands are consist of clay, sand, water, and bitumen. Its bitumen content is extracted and separated to purify it into oil.
Tar sands are needed for their potential to produce oil, which can be refined and used in various applications such as transportation fuels and petrochemical products. However, the extraction and processing of tar sands can have significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction. Alternative energy sources and technologies are being developed to reduce the reliance on tar sands and other fossil fuels.

Oil sands are formed from a mixture of sand, water, clay, and bitumen - a heavy oil. Over millions of years, organic material decays and the bitumen collects in sand and silt deposits, creating oil sands. Heat and pressure further transform the bitumen into crude oil.
