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

In addition to long periods of time, all of the following are necessary for the formation of fossil fuels EXECPT - 

• extreme heat

• organic (living) matter

• fresh water

• intense pressure

Fossil fuels are classified as nonrenewable because they.......

• require expensive equipment

• take millions of years to replace

• can be found all over 

• provide all the energy we use

Which fossil fuel is formed when more heat and pressure is applied to OIL?

• Oil

• Coal

• There isn't one

• Natural gas

What type of fossil fuel is mined from the ground?

• wind

• coal

• biomass

• air

A consequence of drilling for petroleum is

• Oil spills can damage ecosystems

• It can cause acid precipitation

• It can cause respiratory issues

• All of the above

• Heat

• Moisture and pressure

• Cool and moist

The series of pictures shows the formation of a natural resource.
