Natural Resources Test

This resource is formed by tiny animals that died in the ocean millions of years ago. Layers of mud pressed down on the dead animals. The mud eventually turned to rock. This rock put a lot of pressure on the dead animals. Rocks around them also heated them up

Coal is formed when

• sediments cover dead marine organisms and heat converts them in to complex, energy-rich carbon molecules.
• deposits of methane are subjected to high pressure until they condense into crystals.
• swamplands are buried by sediment, the added weight creates heat and pressure that converts the plants into coal.
• oil is put under pressure and hardens.
