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

Fossil Fuels
Drag each Fossil Fuel to the correct way each Fossil Fuel was formed.

Natural Gas
Oil
Coal
Mostly Plants (from a swamp)
Mostly Animals & some plants (aquatic)
Why is it important to conserve Fossil Fuels?

Because they are formed by polluting the Earth and people don't pollute anymore.
Because Fossil Fuels are only found under the ocean.
Because they take a very long time to form and also cause pollution.
Because they take a short time to form and also cause pollution.
Match the correct process with its result:

Sediments compacting over time
Forms sedimentary rock through evaporation
Organic material decaying deep underground
Creates layers of sedimentary rock
Minerals crystallizing from water
Forms fossil fuels like coal
Match the condition to its outcome:

High pressure and temperature
Leads to fossil fuel formation
Organic matter buried in oceans
Creates sedimentary rock layers
Slow deposition of sediments
Causes fossil fuel transformation
Match the type of material to its source:

Source of fossil fuels like oil
Plant remains
Forms sedimentary rocks like limestone
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of organic materials and sediments over time.
