Why do you think that the drills for petroleum products are larger than the drills for precious metals like silver? (lesson 9, slide 6)
The size of drills used for petroleum products is larger than those used for precious metals like silver because of the differences in the geological formations where these resources are found. Petroleum products are typically found in underground reservoirs located deep beneath the Earth's surface, often thousands of feet below. In order to access these reservoirs and extract the oil or gas, large drills with high-powered engines are needed to penetrate through the tough rock formations and reach the desired depth.
On the other hand, precious metals like silver are usually found in ore deposits that are closer to the surface and in smaller, more localized concentrations. The drills used for mining precious metals are typically smaller and more precise, as they need to target specific areas within the ore deposits to extract the valuable metals. Additionally, the extraction process for silver may involve more delicate procedures such as crushing and grinding the ore, which require more specialized equipment than simply drilling into the ground.
