crude oil is of lighter density had hence floats on water molecules and prevents any living micro-organism to absorb oxygen/water essential for life mostly found in the earths crust.

Earths crust is Crude oil found?

Yes, crude oil is found deep beneath the Earth's crust, usually trapped in porous rock formations. It is formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient marine organisms that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure. Oil exploration involves drilling deep into the Earth's crust to extract crude oil reserves.


Crude oil is often found in the Earths crust why is this a problem?

billions of gallons of oil and tons of coal has been extracted from the earths crust which is obviously leaving an emptyness behind, i find it hard it hard to believe that this space remains empty without any collapse in the crust to fill the empty space. if there was a collapse in the earths crust then it would surely be felt as an earthquake or maybe even a tsunami.Earth is only a few kilometers thickness but crude oil pockets could lie anywhere, even under the sea.The crust has to be bored and plugged up for extraction which causes spillage and harms bio life to upset the ecology.


How is crude oil brought to the earths surface?

Crude oil is brought to the Earth's surface through drilling wells into underground oil reservoirs. Once a well is drilled, a combination of pressure from the reservoir and assistance from pumps is used to bring the crude oil to the surface for processing and refining.

How long does it take for crude oil to form in the Earth's crust?

Crude oil forms in the Earth's crust over millions of years through the decomposition of organic matter under high pressure and temperature. It typically takes anywhere from 1 to 3 million years for crude oil to form.

Does the earth's crust cause global warming?

No. While events on the earths crust can cause global warming, the crust itself does not.

Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?

Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.
