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.

How natural gas formed?
How natural gas formed
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 correctly compares how oil and natural gas are formed?
I am trying to find the same k12 question
How are oil and natural gas formed?
Both oil and natural gas are the compressed remains of marine organisms. Both are made due to pressure and heat under buried layers of rock over millions of years.
Is crude oil a natural gas?
No natural gas is natural gas.

What is the name of the fossil fuel that was formed from rotting organisms?
Crude oil and natural gas.
Why are you likely to find natural gas and oil deposits together but less likely to find coal deposits at the same location?
This is because natural gas and oil deposits were formed together
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.
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.
