Answer:

Currently the biogenic theory is the leading explanation for the formation of fossil fuels and it’s believed that the petroleum we most commonly use took anywhere from 1 million to 1 billion years to form and represents a wide spectrum of useful petroleum and natural gas products including methane, propane, butane, hexane, octane and others

Fossil fuels are the remnants of organisms that lived a long time ago and were buried, heated, and formed into hydocarbons.
