Is petroleum an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
sedimentary, the oil is formed within a source rock formed with high quantities of decomposed vegetation, then a reservoir rock which holds the oil and a capping rock which seals it shut in addition to this sequence of rocks, certain structures are required to stop the oil escaping, a classic would be an anticline
What is a seismic crew?
Seismic crews create hundreds of small earthquakes using explosives and other energy sources. These vibrations are precisely measured by specialized equipment to compile a three-dimensional map of the sub-surface rock formations and petroleum reservoirs.
What type of rock is petroleum found in?
Sedimentary rock such as shale or limestone
How are metamorphic rock structures related to deformation?
Deformation can create metamorphic rock structures.....
Where does the word petroleum come from?
The word petroleum come from Latin words that mean rock oil -- petra, meaning stone/rock and oleum, meaning oil.
