Why would dead plants not rot or be eaten instead of accumulating and being transformed to oil?
In swampy areas, dead plants fall into stagnant water that has very little oxygen and is acidic. With no oxygen, there are no aerobic bacteria to decompose the plants, so they form compacted layers, in peat bogs, sometimes hundreds of feet thick.
Peat bogs can be found in many parts of the world today. It is well known that peat is an early phase of coal formation.
Petroleum, on the other hand, is generally notformed from dead plants on land. The generally-accepted theory for the formation of oil is that it comes from thick accumulations of algae and plankton at the bottoms of ancient lakes and seas. Again, because of the lack of oxygen, the organic material did not undergo bacterial decomposition. Over the course of geologic time, it was buried and "cooked" by heat and pressure, breaking down the material into oil and natural gas.

How is geothermal energy transformed to another energy?
Geothermal energy is typically transformed into electricity by using geothermal power plants. These plants harness the heat from within the Earth to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators. The generators then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is the term used to describe material being laid down in an area?
The term used to describe material being laid down in an area is "deposition." This can refer to the process of sediments settling or accumulating in a specific location, such as in a riverbed or on the ocean floor.
How long has oil and gas been in the ground?
Oil and gas have been forming in the Earth's crust for millions of years, with some reservoirs dating back to hundreds of millions of years. The process involves the organic remains of marine plants and animals being transformed under high pressure and temperature over geologic timescales.
What vegetation such as grasses increase runoff?
Vegetation with shallow root systems, such as annual grasses, can increase runoff because they do not hold water as effectively as deep-rooted plants. When it rains, water flows over the ground instead of being absorbed by the soil, leading to increased runoff.
What diagram represents deposition?
A deposition is represented by a sedimentary rock cycle diagram. It shows the process of sediments being deposited and compacted over time to form sedimentary rocks. This diagram usually includes layers of sediment accumulating to show the deposition process.

Can being be used as present continuous tense?
Being transformed is being used as a verb
How sun is ultimate source of energy source for coal?
We are pretty sure that coal formed from layers of plant matter accumulating at the bottom of a body of water, then being deeply buried under sediment and rock and eventually compressed and transformed by the heat and pressure into coal. The plants that eventually became coal derived their energy from the sun while they were living - just as plants do now - so the sun is the original source of the energy you get from coal.
Is matter being destroyed In power plants that use coal?
No, matter is not being destroyed in power plants that use coal. When coal is burned, it undergoes a chemical reaction that converts it into heat, ash, and various gases. The matter is transformed rather than destroyed.
Are greenhouse gases disappearing?
no, they are currently accumulating in the atmosphere as more are being released than absorbed by the earth.
What is an example of sound energy transformed into thermal energy?
an example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy is the crackling of a fire
How can I prevent my tomato plants from being overwatered?
To prevent overwatering your tomato plants, make sure to water them only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Use a watering schedule and avoid watering too frequently. Additionally, ensure proper drainage in the soil and pots to prevent water from accumulating around the roots.
Who was transformed into a laurel tree while being pursued by Apollo?
Daphene
What other word can be used instead of being that?
instead of being that
What is a hydroponic cloner used for?
Hydroponic cloners are used for grooming the roots of plants for growing. Instead of the plants being placed in dirt or soil, the plants grow in open air and the hydroponic cloner puts moisture on the roots to keep them healthy and growing.
What are the forms of energy and explain how each of form being transformed and by what means?
20
Antibiotic in gene cloning?
If antibiotic resistance is added to the gene being cloned, antibiotics can be used to isolate the transformed bacteria (ones with the gene being cloned) by killing off all non-transformed bacteria, that don't have the antibiotic resistance. There is a chance that the non-transformed bacteria can mutate to develop antibiotic resistance.
