Answer 2

As we know that petroleum is known as black gold because of its demand. Let's read how it was formed

Petroleum os believed to have former, over a period of million of years, from organisms that lived in a sea at that time. When these organisms died, their bodies settled on the seabed, and got covered with sand and clay. Over million of years, heat and pressure changed the dead organisms into petrleum.
