fossil oil
Fossil oil, also known as petroleum or crude oil, is a naturally occurring, non-renewable resource formed from the decomposition of prehistoric plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. It is found beneath the earth's surface and is extracted for use as fuel in various forms such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, and is also used in manufacturing of numerous products like plastics, fertilizers, and chemicals. It is called "fossil" oil because it was formed from the ancient remains, or "fossils", of organic matter.
