Question 2

The formation of a fossil fuel follows a specific process.  Complete the flow chart below to indicate the steps involved in fossil fuel formation.

Which fossil fuels can form from an ocean environment?

Select TWO correct answers.

Wind

Petroleum

Coal

Water

Natural gas

Question 4

What processes are the same for the formation of coal, oil, and natural gas?

They are formed by the cooling of magma.

They are formed by the compression of organic material over millions of years.

They are formed by the erosion of rocks.

They are formed by the evaporation of seawater.

Question 5

What environmental difference causes the formation of coal compared to the formation of oil and natural gas?

Coal forms in marine environments, while oil and natural gas form in freshwater environments.

Coal forms from plant material in swampy areas, while oil and natural gas form from microscopic marine organisms in ocean environments.

Coal forms from volcanic activity, while oil and natural gas form from sedimentary rock.

Coal forms from the cooling of magma, while oil and natural gas form from the evaporation of seawater.

Question 6

An archeologist is studying the fossil of a seashell on a mountaintop. What evidence does the fossil suggest about the past environment of the mountaintop?

The mountaintop was once a desert.

The mountaintop was once covered by a glacier.

The mountaintop was once underwater, likely part of an ocean or sea.

The mountaintop was once a volcanic area.
