How is the natural gas trapped underground?
Sand and silt changed to rock, covering organic material, and trapped it beneath the rock. Pressure and heat changed some of this organic material into coal, some into oil, and some into natural gas.
Where did natural gas start?
Natural gas (and oil) is formed from the fossilized organic remains of sea creatures that were trapped in rocks at the bottom of the sea as sediments accumulated.
Which two fossil fuels are often found together in underground rock?
natural gas and oil
Is natural gas or natural oil conventional or non conventional?
Generally, the fuel gas we use comes from underground reservoirs, or natural gas, and this is a conventional source. However, a very small part of natural gas sources is the methane found in coal seams. It is being produced and marketed as natural gas and often classified as an unconventional source of natural gas. We generally don't use the term "natural oil" but rather crude oil, that is a conventional source. Oil and gas can be produced as biofuels, and these are considered unconventional sources.
How did the formation of natural gas and oil differ from the formation of coal?
Natural gas was created by the pressure of water, oil was created over time from water and rocks coal was also created by time but in mountains and underground mines from what i call herpes
What fossil fuel is trapped underground?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are trapped underground. That's where thay were formed, millions of years ago.

Where can you find oil and natural gas?
oil and gas are explored underground
Where do you get natural gas?
Natural gas is found underground in porous rock formations either by itself or in conjunction with petroleum. Often these materials are trapped in "omes" in the rocks. These domes are folds in the rocks that are impervious to gas and oil and hold the hydrocarbons.
Is there gas underground?
There is natural oil in the ground, this is what is used to produce gas
An important natural resource often found in association with underground pools of oil is?
Natural gas
Is there any crude oil or natural gas underground?
yes in certain places
A fossil fuel pumped through underground pipes?
Oil or natural gas
Where did natural gas start?
Natural gas (and oil) is formed from the fossilized organic remains of sea creatures that were trapped in rocks at the bottom of the sea as sediments accumulated.
What did fossil fuels start out as?
Sunlight. carbon dioxide, and water. These were absorbed by plants and converted into plant materials. These if trapped underground and subjected to heat and pressure were converted into coal, peat, slate, oil, natural gas...
Where underground does crude oil collect?
oil and gas rise up through permable rocks and become trapped under impermable rocks. they are then extracted by drilling.
What kind of energy is trapped in the Earth?
It is geothermal energy, coal energy, and natural gas and oil energy.
