Question

select the true statements. geologic traps prevent petroleum from reaching earths surface. petroleum can move through permeable rocks, like sandstone or limestone. geologic traps allow petroleum to pass through non - permeable rocks. petroleum reservoirs are capped by non - permeable rocks, like clay or shale.

Explanation:

• Geologic traps are structures that prevent petroleum from escaping to the Earth's surface.
• Permeable rocks (e.g., sandstone, limestone) allow fluids like petroleum to move through them.
• Non - permeable rocks (e.g., clay, shale) do not allow fluid flow and cap petroleum reservoirs.

Answer:

• "Geologic traps prevent petroleum from reaching Earth's surface."
• "Petroleum can move through permeable rocks, like sandstone or limestone."
• "Petroleum reservoirs are capped by non - permeable rocks, like clay or shale."
