• fossil fuel

• sedimentary rock

The action of force by one object against another

• heat
• pressure
• natural gas

A flammable liquid produced from inorganic matter buried under layers of sediment for millions of years

• oil
• natural gas
• coal

A flammable material, without a definite form, produced from organic material  buried under sediments and found near oil

• natural gas
• coal
• oil

Why are oil, natural gas, and coal considered nonrenewable resources?

• they have been pressed in the earth
• they take millions of years to form
• they can be easily found

Oil is found today where there was once an ancient ocean.

• true
• false

The sun helps from fossil fuels by

•  giving energy to the organisms that become fossil fuels
• heating up the water in the ocean to cause evaporation
• heating up the earth's core to form fossil fuels

which is the first step in the formation of oil?

• Marine organisms die in the ocean and get buried.
• Ocean currents carry organic matter to deeper waters.
• Marine animals eat smaller ones.
