Explanation:
it is believed that millions of years ago the microscopic plants and animals which lived in the seas died. Their bodies sank to the bottom of the sea and we're soon covered with layersof sand and Clay.Over a period of millions of years, these remains, in the absence of air, got converted into petroleum under the combined effect of high temperature, high pressure and bacteria. The petroleum so formed passed through the porous rocks until it got trapped between some impervious rocks.
