Answers
Explanation:
Petroleum – Oil and Natural Gas. Oil and natural gas together make petroleum
It is a mixture of hundreds of different hydrocarbons molecules containing hydrogen and carbon that exist sometimes as a liquid (crude oil) and sometimes as a vapor (natural gas).
Millions of year ago dead organic material accumulated on the bottoms of seas, lakes . waste material decomposes in water where it is broken down by bacteria into carbon dioxide and water. This process consumes oxygen. over the time organic material got hundred or thousand metres thick and accumulate on the sea floor. Whether natural gas or mineral oil is formed from waste material.
Oil and gas are usually found where vast layers of sediment cover the ocean floor. IN modern days seismic equipment is used to prospect for new reserves.
