Sed Rock and Fossil Fuels

Oil formed in ancient oceans millions of years ago. Why did it form there?

• Oceans have waves constantly moving

• Oceans absorb so much sun energy

• Oceans have many tiny marine animals

• Oceans have deep, dark caverns

Fossil fuels form in sedimentary rock ONLY when:

• Plants have a healthy place to grow

• Organic matter is buried with the sediments

• Oil is already there

How do sediments become sedimentary rock?

• Sand melts and turns into rock

• The weight of layers above compacts the sediments into rock

• Lots of time lets the sediment turn into rock

• Rock is frozen and cracked into sediments

Which is NOT true?

• Sedimentary Rock is made of layers

• Sedimentary rock is cemented pieces of rock

• Sedimentary rock is often found at the mouth of a river

• All sedimentary rock has organic material

What must be present in order for fossil fuels to form?

• Lava and sedimentary rock

• Living plants near sedimentary rock

• Dead organisms under layers of sedimentary for millions of years

• Dead organisms be eaten by decomposers

Rocks are broken into pieces and carried downstream. What two processes are being described?

• Weathering and Erosion

• Deposition and Compaction

• Weather and Compaction

• Erosion and Deposition

What is describing the formation of sedimentary rock?

• Organisms die and decay in ancient oceans

• Weathering, Erosion and Deposition

• Compaction and Cementation near a volcano for heat

• Weathering, Erosion, Depostion, Compaction, Cementation

Where is oil normally formed?

• Ancient Oceans

• Ancient Swamps

• The mouth of a river
