Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peat bogs are a type of wetland that stores decomposing plant material, and do not contain hydrocarbons. The other options all contain hydrocarbons and can be considered alternative sources of fuel. Methane hydrates are deposits of methane trapped in ice-like formations underneath the ocean floor. Oil shales are sedimentary rock formations that contain organic material that can be transformed into liquid fuels through heating and processing. Tar sands are mixtures of sand, water, clay, and a dense form of petroleum known as bitumen.
