Why are fossil fuels found buried in rock?
More accurately they are found buried under rocks, this is because since they were formed, rocks have been formed on top, usually by sediments.
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.
How is oil and natural gas formed?
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 is a resource formed mainly from the remains of microscopic-sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground?
Coal
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.

Is coal formed from the buried remains of marine organisms?
No, it is formed when forests die and are covered with layers of rock which compress it and over time turns it into coal. Buried remains of marine organisms formed oil, following mass extinctions,where the oceans have stagnated.

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.
What is liquid from the remains of marine organisms?
Fossils are formed from the buried remains of marine organisms. These organisms are under a tremendous amount of pressure and, over time, they fossilize.

What do you call a thick brown liquid formed from the buried remains of microscopic marine organisms?
oil
What is a resource formed mainly by microscopic sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground?
oil
How is petroleum formed?
scientists think that petroleum formed from the remains of plankton and other microscopic protists, plants, and animals living in shallow seas millions of years ago. The remains of these organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by sediments. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat produced by the sediments coverted the remains of these organisms into a syrupy liquid.
What is a resource formed mainly from the remains of microscopic-sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground?
Coal
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
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 is a natural resource burned to get energy and formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?
Both coal and oil are assumed to have formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago. Most natural gas is also assumed to have formed by the decomposition of these materials.
