Solution
Petrolium :
It is a fossil fuel which is obtained, when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and undergo intense heat and pressure.
It is also called as 'Black Gold' because of it is very expensive, useful and valuable and its crude form is black in colour.
