The map here shows the distribution of oil reserves across the globe. Oil is a fossil fuel that is buried beneath shale in the Earth, and it must be extracted and refined before it can be used as an energy source. Which statements accurately describe the distribution of
oil across the globe? Select ALL that apply.
A)
B)
C)
Areas with larger oil reserves typically have higher rates of volcanic and
seismic activity
Areas of larger oil reserves were likely under ocean water millions of years
ago when the sediments formed.
Larger oil reserves correspond with increased coal reserves, as these fossil
fuels types were formed at the same time.
Decayed remnants of plants and animals were buried, creating oil reserves
after millions of years of heat and pressure
The original plant and animal matter was buried in a singular location, and
plate tectonics moved the oil reserves to be worldwide
