How Oil and Gas were Formed

Students learn how oil and gas were formed over two million years ago.

Oil and gas were formed when the bodies of tiny plants and creatures in the sea were covered by sand and mud and subjected to increasing pressure and temperature over time. Students see for themselves this process in action and practise using key vocabulary and the past simple to describe a sequence of events.
