pressure and temperature
are you sure?
Yes, I am sure. Pressure and temperature are the two key factors that are necessary for the formation of petroleum. Petroleum is formed over millions of years from the remains of marine plants and animals that have been buried under layers of sediment. The pressure and heat from the layers of sediment above them cause the organic matter to undergo chemical changes, eventually leading to the formation of petroleum.
Why are resources like soil, petroleum, and metal ores nonrenewable?
They have been broken down over millions of years and cannot be used.
There is plenty of time for these resources to renew as humans use them.
They are being used up faster than they can be formed again.
There is not enough heat and pressure to create these resources.
