Arrange the following steps according to the chronological order of oil formation. A. The remains of organisms sink to the bottom of the sea when they die where they are preserved B. Geologists locate oil fields beneath the ground and drill. C. Oil fields form as more petroleum and natural gas accumulate in the trap. D. Oil floats on water, petroleum and natural gas move above until a trap forms. E. A source rock forms from mud accumulation and hardening F. Crude oil is transported to refineries where it is processed into fuels. G. Petroleum and natural gas migrate into porous and permeable sedimentary rocks H. The story begins with planktonic organisms living in oceans.
