Question

the map below shows the regions where conventional petroleum fuel can be found. climate has changed over geologic time. how does this map provide evidence to support this claim?

Explanation:

The map shows regions of conventional petroleum fuel. Climate change over geologic time affects the formation and location of petroleum - related to ancient environmental conditions. Fossil fuels like petroleum are formed from organic matter over long geologic periods under specific climate - related conditions such as temperature and pressure in sedimentary basins. The distribution on the map can indicate areas where past climate and environmental conditions were suitable for petroleum formation.

Answer:

The map shows areas where conditions in the past, influenced by long - term climate changes over geologic time, were conducive to the formation of conventional petroleum fuel, as petroleum is formed from organic matter under specific environmental conditions over long periods.
