Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of plant and animal remains over millions of years. Common fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas were created from the decay of organic matter in these rocks.
Metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossil fuels, as these rocks have undergone high pressure and temperature changes that usually destroy any organic materials present. Fossil fuels are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks, where organic matter has been preserved and transformed into coal, oil, and natural gas over time.
Yes, you can find fossils in sedimentary rocks.
Fossil fuels are not found in metamorphic rocks because the high pressure and temperature conditions during the formation of metamorphic rocks would have altered and destroyed any organic matter present, which is necessary for the formation of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. Fossil fuels are primarily found in sedimentary rocks where the organic material can be preserved and transformed into oil and gas over millions of years.
Common resources hosted by sedimentary deposits or rocks include coal, oil, natural gas, uranium, and groundwater. These sediments can also contain valuable minerals such as iron, copper, and salt deposits. Organic materials like plant debris or marine organisms are often preserved in sedimentary rocks, leading to the formation of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are natural products formed over billions of years.
The five major carbon reservoirs on Earth are the atmosphere, oceans, terrestrial biosphere (plants and soils), fossil fuels, and sediments (such as limestone and organic matter). These reservoirs store carbon in various forms and exchange it through processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and erosion.
The type of rocks that contain fossil fuels are sedimentary rocks, such as shale, sandstone, and limestone. Fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal are formed from the remains of plants and animals that were buried and compressed over millions of years within these rocks.
They have a lot of fossil fuels due to the rock(which i believe is either Sedimentary, or Metamorphic and Igneous). They have to drill holes in the rocks to find the minerals and fuel.

Fossil fuels can be found underground in deposits such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are formed from the remains of plants and animals. Minerals are found in rocks and can be mined from areas where these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface or deep underground. Both fossil fuels and minerals are located all around the world, and their availability varies depending on the region.
Metamorphic rocks typically do not contain fossil fuels, as these rocks have undergone high pressure and temperature changes that usually destroy any organic materials present. Fossil fuels are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks, where organic matter has been preserved and transformed into coal, oil, and natural gas over time.
Yes, you can find fossils in sedimentary rocks.
yes fossils are found in sedimentary rocks but not in igneous and metamorphic rocks. hope this helps
That is where they formed.
Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals are called organic sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, formed from the remains of plants, and limestone, formed from the shells of marine organisms.
