Answer:

The word ‘petroleum’ has been derived from two Latin words Petra (meaning rock) and Oleum (meaning oil). Thus petroleum is oil obtained from rocks; particularly sedimentary rocks of the earth. Therefore, it is also called mineral oil.Petroleum has an organic origin and is found in sedimentary basins, shallow depressions and in the seas (past and present). Most of the oil reserves in India are associated with anticlines and fault traps in the sedimentary rock formations of tertiary times, about 3 million years ago. Some recent sediment, less than one million years also show evidence of incipient oil.

Dense forests and sea organisms flourished in the gulfs, estuaries, deltas and the land surrounding them during this period. The decomposition of organic matter in the sedimentary rocks has led to the formation of oil. Though oil is mainly found in sedimentary rocks, all sedimentary rocks do not contain oil.hope it helps you please mark me the brainlest please let me know if there is anything else you need from me
