More accurately they are found buried under rocks, this is because since they were formed, rocks have been formed on top, usually by sediments.
crude oil (which contains many fossil fuels) is created when dead bodies of organisms are put under enormous pressure over an elongated period of time. after millions of years, they rise and settle in the porous rock above them
Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of plant and animal remains over millions of years. Common fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas were created from the decay of organic matter in these rocks.
Fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks are both formed through geological processes involving the accumulation and compression of organic and inorganic materials over time. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, originate from the remains of ancient plants and animals, which are often found within sedimentary rock layers. Both are typically found in sedimentary basins, where sediments accumulate and undergo lithification. Additionally, the extraction of fossil fuels often involves drilling into sedimentary rock formations.
Oil and natural gas are often found together in underground rock formations, with one being formed as a byproduct of the other. This is because they are both derived from organic matter that has been buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years.
Metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossil fuels, as these rocks have undergone high pressure and temperature changes that usually destroy any organic materials present. Fossil fuels are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks, where organic matter has been preserved and transformed into coal, oil, and natural gas over time.
Yes.
FALSE. Fossil fuels come from organic matter that has undergone anaerobic decomposition. We suspect that much of our fossil fuel comes from buried plankton and dinosaurs.

Fossil fuels are typically found in sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which contain organic matter that can be transformed into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.

Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of plant and animal remains over millions of years. Common fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas were created from the decay of organic matter in these rocks.
The type of rocks that contain fossil fuels are sedimentary rocks, such as shale, sandstone, and limestone. Fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal are formed from the remains of plants and animals that were buried and compressed over millions of years within these rocks.
Could be oil in shale or it could be coal.
Fossil fuels are fuels like coal. These came for example from a dead fish that when it died its body sank to the sea bed and over the years and decades and thousands of years became buried under layers of soil and rock until it is finally dug up and burnt to produce fossil fuels.
Oil and natural gas are often found together in underground rock formations, with one being formed as a byproduct of the other. This is because they are both derived from organic matter that has been buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years.
