Question

Can coal be made quickly?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

However, peat accumulates very slowly at about one millimetre a year on average, says Bailey, although it can happen faster, up to 2 to 3 millimetres per year in the tropics. At that rate, it would take about 12,000-60,000 years to accumulate enough peat to form a three-metre coal seam.
