Question

explain the formation of coal

Answer 1

During the carboniferous age, there was plenty of plant life and dense forests in swampy and low lying wetland areas on the earth. Plants and other life forms after their death, drifted down to the bottom of the swamps, where they were compressed and decomposed to form peat. Coal was formed due to compression of the peat at high temperature and pressure.This slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonisation.
