Oil is often found beneath the ocean because...

• The salt in ocean water will change to oil over thousands of years.
• The dead organisms mix with sand and are turned to oil by heat and pressure.
• The cold temerature at the bottom of the ocean changes shells into oil.
• The smaller organisms are eaten by larger organisms whose digestive systems change them into oil.
