Reading 2
The petroleum we obtain today was formed
under the ground for many millions of years. In the past, small animals living
in the sea sank to the seabed when they died. Layers of these creatures built
up over millions of years, and the actions of heat, pressure and bacteria
turned their bodies into petroleum. The petroleum spread through porous rocks
until it came to impervious rocks. In this way, pockets of petroleum were
formed beneath the ground. Over many thousands of years, this land rose above
the sea, and deposits of oil are now found on or near land.
