Forms sedimentary rock through evaporation
Organic material decaying deep underground
Creates layers of sedimentary rock
Minerals crystallizing from water
Forms fossil fuels like coal
3

Match the condition to its outcome:

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Organic matter buried in oceans
Leads to fossil fuel formation
Slow deposition of sediments
Creates sedimentary rock layers
High pressure and temperature
Causes fossil fuel transformation
3

Match the type of material to its source:

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Plant remains
Contributes to coal formation
Ancient sea organisms
Source of fossil fuels like oil
Shells and minerals
