It should be noted that fossil fuels form in sedimentary rocks when organic matter and sediment accumulate on top over time.
Sedimentary rocks are created by the accumulation of already existing rocks or fragments of extinct organisms on the Earth's surface. Deep burial of sediment causes it to get compressed and cemented, resulting in sedimentary rock.
In contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are generated deep beneath the Earth, sedimentary rocks are formed on or around the surface of the planet. The most significant geological processes that produce sedimentary rocks are lithification, weathering, dissolution, and erosion.
As organic materials and sediment build up on top over time, fossil fuels are created. The organic material undergoes a chemical shift under heat and pressure, turning it into coal, oil, or natural gas. Sediment becomes sedimentary rock through the same mechanism.
