Crude oil is petroleum but it is raw or unprocessed form of petroleum.

Answer 8

So petroleum just has some added elements to it, any who, Petroleum and crude oil are made out of fossil fuels, Do you know what fossil Fuels are made of?

Answer 9

Fossil Fuels are made out of Carbon

Answer 10

(Am I correct on that?)

Answer 11

That is correct but it is not the answer heres why V
"Carbon - 84%
Hydrogen - 14%
Sulfur - 1 to 3% (hydrogen sulfide, sulfides, disulfides, elemental sulfur)
Nitrogen - less than 1% (basic compounds with amine groups)
Oxygen - less than 1% (found in organic compounds such as carbon dioxide, phenols, ketones, carboxylic acids)
Metals - less than 1% (nickel, iron, vanadium, copper, arsenic)
Salts - less than 1% (sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride)"

Answer 12

So it's not fully made out of carbon?

Answer 13

Exactly

Answer 14

All of these components are fossil fuels that make up petroleum and crude oil. But all these substances are made up of naturally decaying animals and plants.

So Fossil fuels are easy to get and use, but they take a long time to re-form? Is what you're saying?

Answer 25

Sorry, I am a terrible Student

Answer 26

Yes they are very easy to find :) but they do take millions of years to form.

Answer 27

And they also give us energy for electricity?

Answer 28

mhmmm :)

Answer 29

Cause they are fuels, so why wouldn't they?

Answer 30

Can I post my other question on here, or should I just repost a different question?

Answer 31

Fossil fuels are generally made into gas, oil and coal and so these three components especially coal are used to power turbines to make energy.

Answer 32

Re post would be best :)

Answer 33

ok
