OMG, this makes my head hurt! Fossil Fuels actually come from decayed plant matter, 99% of which came from ancient oceanic plankton that settled to the bottom of the ocean which over time and via plate tectonics were pushed into the earth’s mantle to gradually convert the mass into petroleum via high amounts of pressure and heat. The remaining 1% comes from ancient terrestrial plant matter that seeped into the earth’s crust and was converted into petroleum via similar methods to the oceanic plankton.
