What else can I help you with?
What major problem in the coal mining jndustry did Thomas newcomers steam engine help solve?
Flooding, lower mining levels needed to be pumped out.
What was the relationship between the steam engine and the coal mine?
The steam engine needs coal, the coal comes from the coal mine
Why do people drill wells?
People drill wells to reach fresh water.
What is oil pumped out of the ground?
Crude oil
How do you stop an overflowing septic system?
Have it pumped out. Septic tanks need to be pumped out at least every 5 years to get rid of all the solid material.
What fossil fuel is pumped from wells?
Crude Oil.
What are the three forms of fossil fuels and what form does each one take?
Oil, coal, and gas. Oil is pumped out of the ground, coal is mined, and gas is also pumped
What can groundwater be pumped from?
Groundwater can be pumped from aquifers, which are underground layers of permeable rock or sediment that hold water. It can also be pumped from wells that are drilled into the ground to access the water stored in the aquifers.
Why is artesian water from wells can be pumped to surface?
Artesian water from wells can be pumped to the surface because of natural pressure created by an underground aquifer sandwiched between impermeable layers. This pressure causes the water to rise to the surface without requiring pumping.
Is petroleum pumped from wells?
Yes and no. Some wells require artificial lift, particularly in the later stages of their life. Many newly discovered wells have sufficient pressure to flow naturally. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_lift
How do people in town get water in Zambia?
Most towns have water wells and water is pumped from these to a filter plant and then to homes.
What has the author Bruce T Brady written?
Bruce T Brady has written: 'Map showing coal deposits, oil and gas wells and seeps, and tar sandstone occurrences in the basin and range province' -- subject(s): Gas wells, Oil wells, Coal reserves, Groundwater
Do people living in Fiji use wells to collect their drinking water?
No. There is absolutely no wells in Fiji. Water are either pumped out of the earth, clean and fresh or water from the treatment plant through the Pulic Works Department.
How will the BP oil spill stop leaking?
BP is drilling two relief wells. The wells are intended to intersect the blown out well. Heavy mud will be pumped down at least one of the relief well and will overcome the oil coming out. This will stop the spill. Cement will be pumped down the well so oil will never again flow out of the well.
What are Tube wells and how they are used?
It's simply a long pipe that is bored into the ground in order to reach an aquifer. The water is then pumped into a surface reservoir.
Why does groundwater tend to move toward wells?
Groundwater moves towards wells due to the pressure gradient created by pumping water from the well. This creates a cone of depression, drawing in surrounding groundwater towards the well to replenish the water being pumped out.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of coal relative to oil?
Coal has only one advantage relative to oil, which is that it is abundant and relatively inexpensive. Disadvantages include, it is more polluting (due to impurities in the coal) and it is harder to handle; oil can be pumped, whereas coal has to be shoveled. Coal mining is often more difficult and dangerous than pumping oil out of the ground. Coal dust creates the dangers of explosion, and black lung disease.
