  • Oil and gas production are typically associated with specific regions of the Earth, and Caribbean Islands aren't one of those. Despite this fact, one small but very unique Caribbean Island has an active onshore oil and gas industry due to its very unique geology. Specific plate tectonic details have combined to make this island emerge from the sea, and the same processes have generated oil and gas in the rocks underneath the island. This video talks about this unique place and the geology that forms it. A cool "sandbox model" is used to demonstrate a key process, which is also illustrated live with a Microsoft Paint diagram.
