Answer:

Given enough pressure, organic matter can also become natural gas. Heat and pressure are the two main forces that transform organic matter into fossil fuels.

Answer:

Four Factors are heat, pressure, time and organic matter.

Explanation:

The four factors that influence the formation of fossil fuels are heat, pressure, time, and organic matter. Heat, pressure and time are essential for the transformation of organic matter into fossil fuels.

As organic matter accumulates in sedimentary basins, the pressure from overlying layers causes the temperature to increase, which can cause chemical reactions that transform the organic matter into fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.

The length of time it takes for this process to occur depends on the temperature, pressure, and composition of the organic matter, as well as the conditions in the sedimentary basin.

If the conditions are suitable, the fossil fuels can be preserved for millions of years until they are eventually extracted and used as energy sources.
