    Petroleum comes primarily from zooplankton and algae that lived millions of years ago. Zooplankton and algae are found globally, playing important roles in ocean food chains and as primary sources of energy. Over time, the remains of zooplankton and algae were buried and transformed into petroleum deposits deep underground. Today, petroleum is extracted using large drilling machines and used to produce fuel, asphalt, plastic feedstocks, and other products but its extraction and combustion as a fossil fuel also contributes to air pollution and global warming.
