The oceans influence climate over long and short time-scales. On the longest time-scale of geologic time, the shape and location of the continents helps to determine the oceans' circulation patterns. Since continental plates drift at about 5 cm per year and mountain ranges rise by about 1 mm, it usually takes millions of years for new land formations to change the oceans. Patterns of ocean circulation and up-welling can also change much more rapidly, resulting in climate variations and fluctuations on a human time-scale. Records of global and, in particular, regional climate show periods lasting from years to centuries during which the climate was systematically different from earlier and later periods. Scientists believe that this behaviour is related to changes in the way the oceans store and transport heat, although the precise causes of these changes are not always clear.

The remains of these form oil and natural gas
Umnica [9.8K]

The correct answer is - marine organisms.

Both, the oil and the natural gas are formed on the basis of dead marine organisms. When the marine organisms were dying, they were falling in depths and onto the sea/ocean floor. The sea floor is covered with very soft sediments, and if they were not eaten by scavengers, or they have been covered with another layer of sediments, they have been relatively well preserved. As they were decomposing, the isolation, temperature, and pressure, managed to transform the dead remains of the marine organisms into oily sticky liquid that over time gained the characteristics that we see now in the oil and the natural gas.
