How is oil formed?

• Oil is a fossil fuel that has been formed from a large amount tiny marine animals such as diatoms. These organisms fall to the bottom of the sea once they die and over time, get trapped under multiple layers of sand and mud. Heat and pressure over millions of years form oil and natural gas.

Are natural resources evenly distributed over Earth? Defend your answer.

• Yes, geoscience processes move resources evenly over the planet, so that each area has the same amount of each resource.

• Yes, humans make sure that each area has the same amount of resources.

• No, humans steal resources.

• No, geoscience processes move resources in a way that creates deposits in some places and not others.
