Over millions of years and under high pressure and temperature, the remains of marine organisms transform into fossil fuels under the ocean floor. Crude oil, a type of
fossil fuel, is extracted both from the ocean floor and continental landmasses.
Which explains how crude oil deposits are found on continental landmasses?
A Crude oil is produced when magma solidifies during the formation of new landmasses.
B Crude oil moves underground from reserves in the ocean floor to a landmass.
C Volcanism associated with plate tectonics pushed crude oil to these landmasses.
D Plate tectonics isolated an ancient ocean basin, which became a landmass.
