Crude oil is the term for "unprocessed" oil, the stuff that comes out of the ground. It is also known as petroleum.

Most places you can find crude oil are in sea beds.As crude oil is a fossil fuel it means that it is a finite source and can't be re - used. This is a problem because eventually we will run out of it.
