petroleum is used for transportation fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), plastics, vehicle tires, and chemicals

Petroleum is distilled into a range of hydrocrabons for the production of fuels (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), plastics, and various other chemical products.

Before it can be used for that, it goes to a refining place. There it goes to the bubbling tower, which is separated into five sections. The bottom layer is the hottest, with each section above it cooler than the one below it. once the petroleum goes into there, it turnes into vapor at the bottom, then it goes up until it is below its boiling point. Then it turns back to a liquid and is collected in a tray.
