Fossil fuel is what they use to explain it to simpletons. It doesnt work after one or two questions. Ive never questioned the narrative on it i guess...that its millions of years worth of compressed and liquified organic matter.
Id argue that it got so deep because its a liquid and so it seept downward...combine that with the movement of mountains, the weight of ice sheets...the weight of entire oceans pushing downward toward the crust.....it seems possible.
12,000 years ago, the global ocean was a about a mile shallower than it is today and supposedly that shift happened quick enough that lsrge swaths of organic matter would have been submerged.....sometimes meterors hit and bury everything all at once...killing it.....volcano eruptions...same thing...it would kill a lot of stufff and bury it immediately under molten rock.
