There are many types of living things in this world. When these organisms die, they turn into fossils, accompanied by events that drastically shift the Earth’s crust and cause the fossils to sink to the bottom of the Earth’s surface. Heat and pressure cause these fossils to undergo chemical and physical changes, gradually converting them into coal, crude oil or natural gas. Depending on the type of fossils of those animals. and the environment in that area Here we will focus only on crude oil. Crude oil contains many substances such as butane, propane, gasoline, paraffin, diesel, lubricating oil and fuel oil, coke, asphalt and bitumen, wax, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, vanadium, iron and nickel, etc.
