The correct answer would be true. Petroleum and coal are mostly mined from the continental shelf. Most of the oil rigs are found and situated in this area. Gas/oil deposits are found in these areas since the ocean floor is known to exist a 100 million years ago which means deposits and fossil fuels are formed all through out those years.
