| Feb 4, 2015 at 18:04 | comment | added | PhoneixS | @Taemyr I totally agree with you although I hadn't enter in more details as this is not a compendium of how petroleum is created but to give the author of the question an idea of how it was done. | |
| Feb 4, 2015 at 17:59 | comment | added | PhoneixS | @mao47 Yes, you are right. With "...get merged into ..." I mean not only when it started to agglomerate matter but also when meteors (also created by stars) collide with the earth. | |
| Feb 4, 2015 at 14:05 | comment | added | mao47 | "On the other hand precious metals have been created when the galaxy or planet start to form ..." This is correct, but the heavy elements that were part of earth originally have very low concentration in the crust, because the early earth was molten; the elements sunk into the core. The rare elements we mine from the crust were brought to the earth from collisions with asteroids. | |
