Alright, kiddo, let's talk about torbanite.
Torbanite is a type of rock that can be turned into oil. It's kind of like a magic rock that can make oil.
Now, how does that work? Inside torbanite, there are a lot of tiny little pockets filled with a substance called kerogen. Kerogen is like the stuff plants and animals are made of. So torbanite is kind of like a rock made of old plants and animals.
When torbanite is heated up, these pockets of kerogen release the oil that they've been holding onto. It's kind of like cooking something in the oven -- the heat makes things come out of it.
Once the oil is released, it can be collected and used to make things like gasoline and plastic. So torbanite is really important because it helps us make things we use every day.
