There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

Hope it helps!

You will be asked to give examples of the 3 types of Isostatic Rebound, Sediment Deposition, or Erosion that has impacted the wa
VMariaS [17]
Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
