The photograph showcases a cross-section of sedimentary layers in the Earth's crust, revealing the precise locations where oil and fossil fuels are formed.

From ancient carboniferous deposits to more recent formations, this snapshot provides an invaluable insight into how these valuable resources were created. Woodcock's expert use of lighting and perspective adds depth and dimension to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate the complexity of Earth's geological makeup. The vibrant colors within each layer hint at their diverse mineral content while simultaneously highlighting their significance in fueling human progress.
