Answer:

Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As the organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of sand and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high temperature and high pressure transformed the dead organisms into petroleum and natural gas.

Answer:

Petroleum is a fossil fuel. It has been created by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. Petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms ( primarily zooplankton and algae ) underneath sedimentary rock are subjected to intense heat and pressure.
