Drilling
The method Edwin Drake used to drill oil wells is
called cable-tool or percussion drilling. A hole is
punched into the ground by a heavy cutting tool
called a bit that is attached to a cable and pulley
system. The cable hangs from the top of a
four-legged framework tower called a derrick.

spanned millions of years based on
plant and animal decomposition.
It can be found within
