Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compaction of organic materials and sediments over time.
Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of plants and animals that have been heated and compressed deep underground.
Both sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels form at the Earth's surface without any heat or pressure involved.
Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils, while fossil fuels are not considered rocks and do not form fossils.
How are fossil fuels created over time? Select two.
