Movement of surface water causing weathering of rock Formation of Fossil Fuels Earth and Space 1 What conditions in an ancient environment would make it suitable to the formation of fossil fuels? A Movement of surface water causing weathering of rock B Frequent volcanic eruptions and forest fires C Extremes in high and low temperatures during the day D Abundant plant life and rapid laying down of sediments 5.7A 2 The formation of fossil fuels is a process that takes millions of years and starts with energy from the Sun. The Sun contributes to the formation of fossil fuels by – A heating up the Earth's core where fossil fuels form B generating winds, so humans use less fossil fuels C giving energy to the living things that become fossil fuels D giving off heat, similar to burning fossil fuels

Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then – Formation of Fossil Fuels Earth and Space 3 Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then – A get eaten by larger organisms that receive their energy B are carried by currents all over the planet C decay completely so that their matter is recycled D settle to the bottom and are buried in sediments 4 Most sedimentary rock forms in the ocean. This is because oceans – A emit much less pollution than most other habitats B receive the majority of the Sun’s energy C have fewer plants and animals than on land D are where most bits of broken rock get deposited

The features of two groups of natural resources are listed here. Formation of Fossil Fuels Earth and Space 5 The features of two groups of natural resources are listed here. Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable resources because of which feature? A Where they come from B How they are produced C How useful they are D How long they take to form
