Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Organic geochemistry is the study of the impacts and processes that organisms have had on the Earth.  The study of organic geochemistry is usually traced to the work of Alfred E. Treibs, "the father of organic geochemistry."  Treibs first isolated metalloporphyrins from petroleum.  This discovery established the biological origin of petroleum, which was previously poorly understood.  Metalloporphyrins in general are highly stable organic compounds, and the detailed structures of the extracted derivatives made clear that they originated from chlorophyll.
The relationship between the occurrence of organic compounds in sedimentary deposits and petroleum deposits has long been of interest. Studies of ancient sediments and rock provide insights into the origins and sources of oil petroleum geochemistry and the biochemical antecedents of life. 
Modern organic geochemistry includes studies of recent sediments to understand the carbon cycle, climate change, and ocean processes.
