Sedimentary Rock, and Fossil Fuels

What caused this rock to break?

• acid rain poured down and split the rock apart

• water collected in the cracks, froze and expanded, then pushed the rock apart

• a large wave pushed it apart

• animals

What is the relationship between sedimentary rock and fossil fuels?

• Fossil fuels are formed within sedimentary rock
• They are both renewable resources
• They both take millions of years to form
• They are made from pressure and heat

• erosion
• deposition
• compaction

Why are fossil fuels a non-renewable resource?

• They are valuable and consumed  at a high rate
• The earth is unable to form fossil fuels once they run out
• Oil is only found in oceans
• Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so we cannot use them again in our lifetime.

What are the 3 main fossil fuels?

• Coal, Oil, and Gasoline
• Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas
• Electricity, Gasoline, Petroleum
• Coal, Oil, Non-renewable Resources

All of these are related to the formation of oil or natural gas EXCEPT

• Decomposed Animals
• Decayed Plants
• Sedimentary Rocks
• Active Volcanoes

Sedimentary rocks form when broken bits of other rock are deposited and then -

• buried, compacted and cemented together

• melted by the heat of the Earth's core

• completely dissolved in the salt water of the ocean

• used by humans as a natural resource

Fossil Fuels form in sedimentary rocks when -

• plants use the nutrients in the sediments to grow
• organic matter is buried along with sediments
• rivers carry sediments down mountainsides
• sediments are used by humans as a resource

The formation of fossil fuels is a process that takes millions of years and starts with energy from the sun. The sun contributes to the formation of fossil fuels by - 

• heating up the Earth's core where fossil fuels form
• generating winds so humans use less fossil fuels
• give energy to the living things that become fossil fuels 
• giving off heat, similar to burning fossil fuels

How are Sedimentary Rocks formed?

• Cooling and Hardening
• Heat and Pressure
• Compacting and Cementing
• Melting
