Answer:

A fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, mostly zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both intense heat and pressure. Petroleum has mostly been recovered by oil drilling (natural petroleum springs are rare).

Petroleum provides fuel for heat and lighting, lubricants for machinery and raw material for a number of manufacturing industries. The word 'petroleum' is derived from Latin words petra, meaning rock, and odeum meaning oil.
