Answer:
About 300 million years ago the earth had dense forest in low lying wetland areas. Due to various natural processes, like flooding and earthquakes, these forests got buried under the soil.
The soil eposits layer by layer over them, they were compressed. Under high temperature and pressure the plants got converted to coal slowly. This process is called carbonisation.

answer:-
This process is called carbonization. So, carbonization can be defined as the slow process in which the dead plants and trees under the surface of the earth in high pressure and temperature form coal. It is called fossil fuels because it is formed by the dead remains of plants.
