How was Crude oil (petroleum) made from Dead Sea Creatures?

• Crude oil is made from the dead sea plants and animals that died millions of years ago in the sea.
• The dead organisms are covered with sand and silt over the years.
• Heat as well as pressure which arises from these layers results in the formation of crude oil from these dead plants and animals.
• In order to get oil, we dig these layers of sand and silt to reach the oil underneath it.
• Then this crude oil is refined to make petroleum.
