Answers
Answer:
You know that petrol is used as a fuel in light automobiles such as motor cycles/ scooters and cars. Heavy motor vehicles like trucks and tractors run on diesel. Petrol and diesel are obtained from a natural resource called petroleum.
Explanation:
Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of sand and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high temperature and high pressure transformed the dead organisms into petroleum and natural gas.
The world’s first oil well was drilled in Pennsylvania, USA, in 1859. Eight years later, in 1867, oil was stuck at Makum in Assam. In India, oil found in Assam, Gujarat, Mumbai High and in the river basins of Godavari and Krishna.
The below shows the deposits of petroleum and natural gas. You see that the layer containing petroleum oil and gas is above that of water.Oil and gas are lighter than water and do not mix with it.
