The formation of fossil fuels is a process that takes millions of years and starts with energy from the Sun. The Sun contributes to the formation of fossil fuels by

• heating up the Earth's core where fossil fuels form

• generating winds, so humans use less fossil fuels

• giving energy to the living things that become fossil fuels

• giving off heat, similar to burning fossil fuels

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –

• settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments

• get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy

• are carried by currents all over the planet

• decay completely so that their matter is recycled
