Which list contains only processes that must occur in order for fossil fuels to form?

A) Formation of faults, burial, glacier formation

B) Organism growth, burial, volcanic eruptions

C) Organism growth, burial, compaction

D) Erosion, burial, earthquakes

Organism growth, burial, compaction contains only processes that must occur in order for fossil fuels to form

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Fossil Fuels are used to produce energy in tremendous amounts. This nonrenewable source cannot be produced easily. It takes really a long time to form these fossils. The dead organisms either plants or animals will start decomposing in a few days. This will make the decaying organisms to do a vertical growth. That is the body will to decay holding up carbons in the matter. The burial is that the remains of the organisms after the decaying process which also has an enormous amount of carbon. As time moves, that matter covered under the sand will start to become a fossil in the absence of oxygen, and heat and pressure. The process of heat and pressure over time making sediments over the mater is ''Compaction''.
