Answer:

  • Petroleum is formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.
  • When plants and animals die, they sink and settle on the seabed.
  • Millions of years ago, these dead wildlife and vegetation decomposed and got mixed with sand and silt.
  • Certain bacteria helped in the decomposition of this organic matter and caused some chemical changes
  • Matter consisting of largely carbon and hydrogen was left behind.
  • its then decomposed n petrol is formed
