Petroleum is a natural resource that is found below the surface of earth petroleum is unevenly distributed on earth, but it is most often found in petroleum traps which are underground rock formations that block the movement of petroleum

Question

Which of the following describes what must’ve happened in the past area with a large petroleum trap
A.) organic matter must’ve been exposed to intensely cold temperatures until it became petroleum then the petroleum massive moved up to our surface through permeable underground rock formations
B.) organic massive been buried and placed under intensity and pressure until it became petroleum then the petroleum massive connected inside and in Pureval underground rock formation
C.) and permanent underground rock formations must have blocked the movement of organic matter through our surface. Then the organic matter must have decompose to form. Petroleum inside the rock formations.
D.) permeable underground rock formations must have allowed the movement of organic deep matter into the Earth then the organic matter must have been exposed to freezing temperatures until it formed petroleum

Answer 1

The most accurate description of what must have happened in an area with a large petroleum trap is:

B.) organic matter must have been buried and placed under intensity and pressure until it became petroleum then the petroleum mass connected inside and in impermeable underground rock formations.

This option correctly outlines the process of formation of petroleum, which involves the burial of organic matter (like plants and animals) over millions of years, subjecting it to heat and pressure to transform it into petroleum, followed by the accumulation of petroleum in reservoirs that are typically trapped by impermeable rock formations.
