Detailed Solution

High oxygen is not responsible for the transformation of dead organisms into petroleum and natural gas.
When prehistoric animals and plants died, layers of rock and dirt buried them over time. Heat and pressure from the Earth's crust decomposed these organisms over millions of years, converting them into one of three types of fuel: oil (also known as petroleum), natural gas, or coal. Petroleum was formed from the dead remains of animals that were buried deep within the earth millions of years ago. These high temperatures, high pressure, and the absence of air were the conditions that lead to the formation of petroleum and natural gas.
