How are organic rocks formed?

Organic rocks are formed when the remains of living organisms, such as shells, bones, or plant material, accumulate over time and undergo compaction and cementation. These materials can eventually become lithified into rocks like limestone, coal, or chalk through geological processes.


What type of rock forms when material from dead plants and animals is deposited and hardens into rock?

Sedimentary rock, specifically organic sedimentary rock like coal or limestone, forms from the accumulation and compaction of remains from dead plants and animals over time. These materials can include organic matter such as shells, bones, and plant debris.


Which fossils fuels come from dead plants?

Coal and natural gas are fossil fuels that come from dead plants. Coal forms from the remains of ancient plants that were compressed and heated over millions of years. Natural gas is mainly composed of methane and is also formed from the decomposition of organic matter, including dead plants.


Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks shells soils and dead plants and animals?

sedimentary


In what type of rock would geologist most likely find evidence of past life forms?

Geologists would most likely find evidence of past life forms in sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, which can preserve fossils of organic materials like plants and animals. Sedimentary rocks are often rich in fossils and provide valuable information about past life on Earth.

Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rock shells soils and dead plants and animales?

The type of rock formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks, shells, soils, and dead plants and animals is called sedimentary rock. These rocks are created through processes such as compaction and lithification, where sediments accumulate in layers over time. Common examples include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Sedimentary rocks often preserve fossils and provide valuable information about Earth's history.


How coal are formed by layer to layer?

Coal is formed through a process called coalification, where layers of plant material are buried and compressed over millions of years. The plant material is first transformed into peat through decay, then undergoes further compaction and heating to form lignite, then into sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and finally anthracite with increasing pressure and heat. Each layer represents a different stage in the coalification process, resulting in different types of coal.

Coal i think --------- Yes, it is true for coal, petroleum, methane - from dead plants and animals.


Are fossil fuels fossils?

Yes. They are a large group of fossils which are full of the energy of the dead creatures or plants which formed them.

Why is natural gas referred to as fossil fuel?

Because it is formed from the remains of dead plants and animals, thus, its "fuel" from a "fossil".
