Plants are converted into oil through a process called pyrolysis or by undergoing natural geological processes over millions of years. In pyrolysis, organic material is heated in the absence of oxygen, breaking down the plant matter into liquid hydrocarbons, gases, and char. In nature, the remains of plants and animals accumulate in sediments, and over time, heat and pressure transform these remains into crude oil through chemical reactions. This natural process can take millions of years, resulting in fossil fuels that can be extracted for energy use.

How were fossil fuels formed including the roles of the sun and plants?

The Sun passed solar energy to the plants, and plants were eaten by animals. When the plants and animals died and started decaying, some of them got buried deep under the ground for many millions of years, where they turned into fossil fuels like coal, gas and crude oil. We burn that coal and oil to turn them into heat energy. Heat energy is transformed in power plants into electricity that goes through the power lines to our homes, then powers our televisions, computers, etc.
