What do petroleum an natural gas form from?
Petroleum is a dark, stick and viscous liquid. It is formed by the deposition of the remains of algae and animals on the seabed. These piled up to form a sedimentary rock. The pressure hardened the rock and the bacterial activities convert it to crude. Natural gas is usually formed along with the crude oil(which may possibly be the waste product of the bacteria). The crude, being less dense moves up the rock and finally trap under the rock where it could no longer finds porous channel.
