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

2. Oil formation starts when organisms in the ocean die and then –

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
