Formation of Fossil Fuels

Which process moves rock sediment?

• weathering
• erosion
• deposition
• compaction

Nonrenewable energy resource, such as oil and coal, formed over millions of years from the remains of dead plants and other organisms

• Natural Gas
• Oil
• Pressure
• Fossil Fuel

The action of force by one object against another ( in a geyser, hot water escapes from the pressure under layers of the earths crust)

• Natural Gas
• Pressure
• Fossil Fuel
• Oil

Rock made of layers of compressed organic and inorganic sediments

• Natural Gas
• Oil
• Pressure
• Sedimentary Rock

The waste remains of plants and animals

• Organic Matter
• Natural Gas
• Pressure
• Fossil Fuel

A flammable material, without a definte form, produced from organic materials(remains of marine organisms) buried under layers of sediment found near oil deposits

• Pressure
• Oil
• Natural Gas
• Fossil Fuel

A flammable liquid fossil fuel formed from marine organisms and buried under layers of sediments for millions of years.

• Natural Gas
• Fossil Fuel
• Pressure
• Oil

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

• decomposed animals
• decayed plants
• sedimentary rocks
• active volcanoes

• Sand in the sediment melts and turns into rock.
• The weight of the water compacts the sediment into rock.
• Changing water temperatures turn sand in the sediment into rock.
• Pollution caused by humans turns the sediment into rock.

Erosion is one the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. Which of these best describes the process of erosion? 

• ^{Rocks are broken into smaller pieces that remain in the same location.}
• Pressure compacts layers of sediment and turns them into rock.
• Pieces of rock or soil are carried from one place to another.
• Sediment grains fall to the bottom of a lake to form sedimentary layers.
