Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How can plant from a pond form fossil fuels?
A
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and get buried by sediments for millions of years.
B
The dead plants get compacted then cemented for millions of years.
C
The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers
D
The dead plants produce carbon which forms fossils
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dead plants get buried for millions of years and forms fossils that attract carbon. The dead plants sink to the bottom of the pond and are consumed by decomposers. The dead plants produce carbon that is consumed by fish, which form fossils.

Detailed explanation-2: -Millions of years ago, algae and plants lived in shallow seas. After dying and sinking to the seafloor, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried. Over millions of years under high pressure and high temperature, the remains of these organisms transformed into what we know today as fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-3: -COAL IS A FOSSIL FUEL As the plants died, they sank to the bottom of the swamps. Over the years, thick layers of plants were covered by dirt and water. They were packed down by the weight. After a long time, the heat and pressure changed the plants into coal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth’s crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, fossils fuels are formed from the remains of plants and animals buried millions of years ago. Q. Fossil fuels are formed by the decomposition of biomass buried under the earth millions of years ago.
