Fossil fuels formed over long periods of time after particles in water settled to the sea floor and formed marine mud. What kinds of particles needed to be present in the marine mud in order for fossil fuels to form?

• mostly sand and a few small bits of wood

• mostly decaying organisms

• mostly lava and a few sedimentary rocks

• mostly metal minerals

The photograph shows plants growing on the surface of a pond. How do plants like these form fossil fuels?

• The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and get buried by sediment for millions of years.

• The dead plants get buried for millions of years and form fossils that attract carbon.

• The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers.

• The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which form fossils.
