Editing error. Help me with this. Natural asphalt lakes are found in many part
of the world, one of a largest sites
is on the island of Trinidad which more
than 10 million tons have been mining.
Asphalt starts out deepest in the ground
by crude oil. Heat, pressure and oxygen
drives by the volatile constituents of the
oil and transform it into asphalt. Then if
fissures existed in overlying rock, the asphalt
escapes to the surface.
