Bill, thanks for the reply. That gives me a whole lot more to work on for
understanding this.
No problem. I'm FAR from an expert in this, I just felt that an
honest question deserved a better answer than that. When you find a
decent reference on the issue, please share it, I'd like to know more
about.... everything.
Of all the fossil fuel in the world, why is there more in the Saudi
Arabia, Iraq, Iran, etc.? Did more life exist there than in any other
part of the world? Thanks.
Geology
***.
2 things. 1, there isn't more fossil fuel in the middle east,
just more of the 1 type referred to as oil. there's more methane in
russia, more coal in the us, more tar sand in canada.
The reasons why a specific fossil fuel forms in specified
location are a little more complicated than shitheads "geology" would
indicate, but geology is part of it, as is local temperature at the
time of fossil deposition, type of plants that died there and a whole
bunch of other factors not all of which are properly known right now.
