Oil and natural gas, also called fossil fuels, are formed by anaerobic decomposition of dead and buried organisms.
Anaerobic decomposition is the decomposition of something while lacking oxygen, which is caused by it being buried in mud and sediment, which over time (millions of years) will cause favorable conditions for fossil fuels to form.
What else can I help you with?
Is crude oil a natural gas?
No, crude oil and natural gas are two distinct fossil fuels. Crude oil is a liquid formed from organic matter buried deep underground, while natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel mainly composed of methane.
Which correctly compares how oil and natural gas are formed?
I am trying to find the same k12 question
What kind of fuels are oil and natural gas called?
Fossil fuels - because they were formed from remains of vegetation or algae over millions of years.
Natural gas is often found where crude oil is found?
Natural gas is found along with crude oil in underground reservoirs because both are hydrocarbons formed from organic matter that decomposed over millions of years. This is why many oil fields also produce natural gas as a byproduct. Methane, the primary component of natural gas, can be found in conjunction with crude oil deposits.
Is natural gas crude oil?
No natural gas is natural gas.
What is formed when Texas' rivers are dammed?
Oil and natural gas
Is crude oil a natural gas?

What is a fuel formed over millions of years?
Coal, Natural Gas and Oil
When engineers drill into earth and find a supply of both oil and natural gas do they find oil on natural gas or natural gas on oil?
Natural gas on top of the oil. Natural gas is less dense.
What resources located under the North Sea?
Oil and natural gas.
How can petroulum be formed apart from sullight and oil?
Adding ethanol to natural gas. Bye now!

What is oil formed from?
well dipends if your talking about natural oil or bad oil i know that natural oil is made out of broken down parts of dead animals deand plants and others i will get back with you once i know what bad oil is made of alright bye
What are oil and natural gas?
Oil and natural gas are fossil fuels.
Where is natural gas formed?
Natural gas is formed far below the earth's surface by the decomposition of organic materials. Differences in the materials decomposing, time, and the depth and pressure involved in the decomposition determine whether the end result is gaseous, as natural gas, or liquid, as crude oil.
