Nicholas Gonzalez · Answer 1

Crude oil has parts of decomposed dinosaurs and plants from millions of years ago. When the sun gave energy to the plants for their growth, the dinasours ate them which is now is stored in the oil today. So the sun gave energy to plants, dinosaurs ate them, pasted away and decomposed, then we drill and use it as oil.

Hello,

The energy stored in oil come from the sun. Describe how energy from the sun became stored in oil?

Well the way oil came to this earth is the fact that when the sun gave energy to plants because the energy was transferred fro the plant to the organism that eats the plant. When the organism billions of years ago ate the plants then died they would be decomposed into oil that we mine today.
