No. Oil comes primarily from dead algae laid down on the ocean floor. The oild itself forms in pore spaces in the rock, and later travels to pockest through faults and permeable rock layers.
There is a popular notion that fossil fuel is made from the remains of dead dinosaurs. This is not correct.Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) developed from organic (living) material subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years.Oil and gas came from plankton and other tiny organisms.Coal came from larger plants and animals, but not dinosaurs.
Nothing really. The story that oil comes from the bodies of dead dinosaurs is out by about 70 million years. Oil comes from plankton.
No, black oil was formed from plankton and other tiny organisms 300 million years ago. Dinosaurs appeared around 270 million years ago.
Essentially, oil comes from plankton
Oil is made from plankton. All the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) began 300 million years ago, 70 million years before the dinosaurs.
Plankton died and sank down to the bottom of the oceans where they mingled with rotting vegetation over hundreds of millions of years ago (before the dinosaurs). Sand and rocks fell on top. The pressure over the years turned the organic matter into coal and oil.
Scientists don't just believe, they know coal is formed from ancient plants compressed in anaerobic environments. However, nobody with a knowledge of geology or paleontology believes oil is formed from dinosaurs. Oil is primarily formed from plankton and algae.
i believe that God made the dinosaurs.
petroleum comes from the remains of every living creatures that existed millions of years ago such as dinosaurs, the sea creatures and most likely ancient plankton also
No, there are no dinosaur bones in crude oil deposits. Crude oil is formed primarily from the remains of ancient marine microorganisms, such as plankton, that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. While dinosaurs lived on land and their remains can be found in sedimentary rock formations, they are not a source of crude oil.
It kills them. Plankton are myriad different sea creatures. They all die. Some bacteria can actually ingest oil, though.
Contrary to popular belief, oil does not come from dinosaurs. Oil is formed by algae that sinks to the bottom of the ocean and is then buried. Many oil deposits in the world predate the dinosaurs. Additionally, dinosaurs walked the earth for about 160 million years, which is more than enough time for algae to be buried and converted into oil.
