What group of protists is thought to be the main source of earth's oil deposits?

The answer is; plankton

The major group of plankton that contribute to earth’ crude oil are phytoplanktons because of their  great numbers – even though they are microscopic. They are the base of the food chains in the oceans because they are the main primary producers. Examples of phytoplankton are the dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria,  diatoms and blue-green algae.

for e2020. the answer would be some directions from the mountain range so we can find mt. whitney. to locate which direction is north, you should use a   compass. this would not only find mt. whitney, but also becuase of this long paragraph you would get points because it's not like anyone actually reads your work becuase once they read the first sentence it sounds dumb enough to not read becuase i'm not good at answering this but the answer is compass for your benefit.
