To extract vegetable oil, the dried oilseeds are put in the crushing machine and oil is squeezed out. This is collected in containers. Mineral oil is pumped out by digging oil wells. These are found deep below the ground. Holes are drilled and oil is pumped out or forced out. The crude oil is a source of many useful things. We get kerosene, petrol and diesel out of crude oil. We use most of the vegetable oils for cooking, Mineral oils are mainly used as fuel. Animal oils are used as medicine. For example, shark liver oil is given to strengthen weak children.
