Large amounts of dead plants and animals were buried millions of years ago and then trapped by underground rock formations to create petroleum reservoirs.

Flooding in this area resulted in rapid chemical weathering that created petroleum as rocks were broken down.

Mass wasting from northern regions resulted in the deposition of underground petroleum reserves.

Large amounts of carbon dioxide were released into the air and precipitated back down as petroleum.

solar and wind power are options available to people interested in producing electricity while reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. a benefit of using these alternative sources is that:

Preserve natural resources for future generations

Increase the number of jobs required for mining coal

Ensure that supplies of fossil fuels will never decrease

Cost more to generate than all other sources of electricity
