the last one is: Oil and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. Oil and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.
To determine which option is a natural material that is not a fossil fuel, we need to understand what each option represents.
1. Cotton: Cotton is a natural material that is derived from the seeds of the cotton plant. It is not a fossil fuel.
2. Natural gas: Natural gas, on the other hand, is a fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of decayed plants and animals buried deep underground over millions of years.
3. Petroleum: Petroleum, also known as crude oil, is another fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms.
4. Vinyl: Vinyl is actually a synthetic material made from petrochemicals, which are derived from fossil fuels. It is not a natural material.
Based on this information, the natural material that is not a fossil fuel is cotton. Therefore, the correct option is the first one: cotton.
