Shale underneath, to provide the organic material, then the oil and gas are usually found within sandstone. Above you will find shale again, or possibly caly or slate

What is the Hydrosphere explain?

The Earth is a sphere, meaning it is round, like a ball. It is composed of concentric layers. There is an inner and an outer core, which are composed of nickel and iron. These are in the center of the Earth. The next layer above that is made of hot, liquid rock called magma; that can be called the lithosphere meaning rock sphere. Above that is the crust, which we live on. The crust is also made of rock, but it is cooler, solid rock. Most of the crust is covered by oceans, which are made mostly of water. This layer of water can be called the hydrosphere, although it is not a perfect sphere; it does not cover all of the crust. And the next and final layer above the crust and the hydrosphere is the atmosphere, which is made of gas. Above that is outer space.

Neptune is primarily composed of gas, with a dense core made up of rock and metal. The core accounts for approximately 15-20% of the planet's mass. Surrounding the core is a layer of icy materials, such as water, ammonia, and methane. Above this layer is the atmosphere, mainly consisting of hydrogen, helium, and methane.

Does natural gas rise above an oil deposit?

Yes, natural gas typically rises above an oil deposit due to differences in density and pressure. Natural gas is lighter than oil and migrates upward through porous rock formations until it encounters an impermeable layer that forms a gas trap above the oil deposit.

Gasoline is made from petrol. Gas is made from the gas collected in the layer above the petrol. Gasoline is faster and safer. Gas is less expensive, but you can't put in a garage because it can blow or leak. Hope I'm helping you =)
