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.
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.
Which fossil fuel was formed from the remains of small animals algae and other organisms that lived in oceans and shallow inland seas?
it is gas and oil
How bituminous coal fields were formed?
They were formed from the remains of the prolific plant material growing in vast marshy areas in the Carboniferous. The plant remains did not rot in their shallow water environment and formed layer after layer of sediment which was eventually covered with subsequent layers of additional sediments resulting in their compaction and cementation in a process of lithification.
A rock formed from living organisms?
Many rocks can contain fossil organisms. Generally speaking, sedimentary rocks are the rock type that contains the most fossil organisms. Coquina, a type of limestone, is formed nearly completely by the shells of marine organisms. And coal is a sedimentary rock composed of the remains of ancient swamp plants.
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.

How was fish made?

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.
Type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of organisms?
Layer that contains ozone

it is gas and oil
What are fossills fuels formed from?
Dead Organisms Are Compressed By Dirt or Remains Of Dead Animals.
How does petroleum form?
Petroleum is formed under Earth's surface by the decomposition of marine organisms. The remains of tiny organisms. EW!
