Petroleum is a yellowish-black liquid found in the earth that can be refined into fuel and plastic. It is derived from organic-rich shallow marine sedimentary deposits and is mostly used as a fossil fuel.

The statement that the main reason petroleum cannot be a mineral is because it is man-made is false.

The minerals have one specific chemical composition, and that is not the case with petroleum.
