What are the three fossil fuels that form in sedimentary rock?
solar, oil (petroleum), and wind power
coal, biofuels, and oil (petroleum)
coal, oil(petroleum), natural gas
What's the first step in making oil (petroleum)?
ocean micro organisms (plants and animals) buried in sediment millions of years ago
Ocean plants buried in sediment a thousand years ago
swamp plants buried in sediment millions of years ago
organisms buried alive for a few days
All of the following are examples of quick changes to the Earth's surface except....
Volcanic Eruptions
Landslides
Earthquakes
Weathering
How are fossil fuels formed?
Dead organisms fall to the bottom of the floor and are covered in sediment. Heat and pressure turn them into fossil fuels.
Dead organisms are buried.
Fossil fuels are renewable so they are man made every year.
Dead organisms fall to the bottom of the floor and only pressure change it into fossil fuels.
