Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is made into polymers.
Polymers can be both depending upon which ones you are asking about. Polymer simply means "a chain of identical molecules linked together". Nonrenewable polymers would be plastics made from crude oil; renewable polymers would be cellulose and lignin in tree trunks.
Yup! Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Poly(ethene)
I belive that what we call crude oil is made by volcanic active in the earth and flows in octifers throw out the earth and will never be depleted.
yes plastic is a form of carbohydrates.
1 barrel of crude oil equals 42 US gallons of crude oil.
It undergoes a system called undergoing, and is exposed to high heat, for a long time, then cooled into plastic.
Because crude oil is running out.
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers

plastic is made from crude oil.
All I know is that monomers are small atoms that join together to form polymers. Crude oil is also known as petroleum and unprocessed oil. Sorry, was wondering myself!

Crude oil is not "made". "Crude oil" is the name giving to the raw form of oil that is pumped from the ground.
Gasoline is processed from crude oil. It is not oil but it is from oil. Diesel is a type of oil and it is also made from crude.
Polymers are often made from crude oil distillates that cannot be turned in to gasoline. We pay for crude oil, what sense does it make to put it back in the ground where it serves no useful purpose, and is so stable it will not become crude oil again? Additionally, some polymers leach compounds into the ground water, which can become a problem for future generations (some we cannot foresee, of course). The validity of the above answers are questionable but it is true that polymers are very stable. It is not known how long plastic will remain in a landfill so it will continue to accumulate. Some envision a world where there are large mountains of plastic trash. I hope that world never comes.
Yes it is made of crude oil :).
yes using phenol, a compound that is derived from crude oil.
