Question

Describe how coal is formed from dead vegetation. What is this process
called?​

Answer 1

Answer:

here you answer☺

Dead remains of plants got buried under the earth millions of years ago. Due to intense heat and pressure inside the earth they got converted into coal. The process of conversion of dead remains of plants into coal is called carbonization.

Answer 2

Answer:

• About 300 million years ago, the earth had dense forests in low lying wetland areas.

• Due to natural processes like flooding, these forests got buried under the soil.

• As more soil was deposited, they were compressed.

• With an increase in depth, the temperature also rises.

• Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted into coal.

• The process of coal formation is very slow and might take millions of years.

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.
