Sedimentary Rocks and Fossil Fuels
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
--heating up the Earth’s core where fossil fuels form
--generating winds, so humans use less fossil fuels
--giving energy to the living things that become fossil fuels
--giving off heat, similar to burning fossil fuels
giving energy to the living things that become fossil fuels
True or false:
The day and night cycle is caused by the earth's revolution around the sun.
False. The day and night cycle is caused by the earth's rotation.
The deposition of sand creates...
sand dunes
In addition to long periods of time, all of the following are necessary for the formation of fossil fuels EXCEPT
--extreme heat
--organic matter
--volcanic eruption
--intense pressure
volcanic eruption
The length of time it takes the earth to make one complete rotation.
24 hours
How are canyons formed?
Over a long period of time, rivers weathered and caused erosion to land.
Oil formation occurs where, millions of years ago, there were large oceans. This is because oceans have –
--waves that are constantly moving
--currents that mix the water thoroughly
--deep caverns where no light can reach
--great numbers of tiny marine animals

While it looks like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but we know that is not actually the case Why does the sun appear to move from the east to the west in the sky?
The earth is rotating counterclockwise.

Explain compaction
When rocks become dense because so much force has pushed them down onto each other.

1. Organisms that lived in the ocean died.
2. Sediment that deposited into the ocean buried them.
3. Intense heat and pressure turned them into oil.
