Crystals
How is coal, a type of fossil fuel, formed?

Rock and sand
Decomposed plants and animals
Live plants and animals
How long does it generally take for a fossil fuel to form?
One year
Hundreds of years
Millions of years
Thousands of years
Why are fossil fuels considered non-renewable resources?
Plants and animals are always dying
They reform quickly
We have unlimited supplies
They take too long to form
How does the process of coal formation differ from that of petroleum?
Coal forms from marine organisms, petroleum from plants
They are formed by similar processes
Coal is formed underwater, petroleum on land
Coal forms from plants, petroleum from tiny marine organisms
Where does most of the petroleum formation happen?
Sea/ocean beds
Forests
Mountain areas
Deserts
What type of rock is associated with the formation of coal and petroleum?
Magnetic rocks
Metamorphic
Sedimentary
Igneous
Which layer of sedimentary rock is usually newest?
The top layer
All layers are the same age
The bottom layer
The middle layer
Which process turns loose sediments into rock?
Weathering
Compaction and Cementation
Deposition
Erosion
How do sedimentary rocks usually form?
Crystals
Balls
Layers
Single mass
Which conditions are required for the formation of coal?
Plant materials under high pressure and heat
Animal decay in swamp water
Accumulation of sea shells in water
Formation in volcanic areas
How does natural gas form differently from coal?
Coal is created from lava and ash
Natural gas is formed from sand and silt deposition
Coal is formed from tree bark
Natural gas is formed from tiny sea plants and animals
What is crude oil mainly made of in its formation process?
