Millions of years ago ,plants thrive in large,shallow swamps.They were buried under the earth owning of some natural phenomena, and fossilized in the course of time.

Formation of coal.

There are 4 stages of formation of coal.

Peat: it is the third stage in the formation of coal ,has the lowest carbon content and is the most inferior type of coal.it was formed by the action. of anaerobic bacteria on plant remains under swamps.it is right below the surface up to a 1000 meters .Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions pushed thr decomposed remains of plants under the ground.As they sank ,they experienced tremendous pressure and temperature, which drove out gaseous products from the remains.This increased their carbon content -a process known as carbonation..The lower the remains sank,the more their carbon content increased. The best quality coal,known as antharacite, is thus found at greater depths than bituminous coal and lignite ,which have a lower carbon content
