What's the first step in making oil?

• ocean organisms (plants and animals) buried in sediment millions of years ago
• Ocean plants buried in sediment a thousand years ago
• swamp plants and animals buried in sediment millions of years ago
• organisms buried 

How are fossil fuels formed?

• Dead organisms fall to the bottom of the floor and are covered in sediment. Heat and pressure turn it into fossil fuels.
• Dead organisms are buried.
• Fossil fuels are renewable so they are man made
• Dead organisms fall to the botton of the floor and pressure and cementation change it into fossil fuels

What is the first step in creating natural gas?

• The same as oil, because natural gas and oil are formed together
• the same as coal because coal and natural gas are formed together

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

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. 

In addition to long periods of time, all of the following are necessary for the formation of fossil fuels EXCEPT- 

• extreme heat
• organic matter
• fresh water
• intense pressure

Coal often forms where once there were swamps.  What characteristic of swamps is important to the formation of coal?  

• high temperature
• abundant (large amounts) plant life
• frequent rains
• reptile predators  

Which of the following answers describes the correct order of the formation of fossil fuels?

• coal, plants and animal die, sediments are deposited, pressure, and heat.
• Humans create the fossil fuels in a lab. 
• Fossil fuel are created through the process of photosynthesis.
• plants and animals die, layers of sediment, pressure, heat, time, then coal or oil or natural gas
