Most of the coal we use now was formed about 300 million years ago, when much of the earth was covered by steamy swamps. As plants and trees died, their remains sank to the bottom of the swampy areas, making layers and layers of plant material and eventually forming a soggy, thick material called PEAT.

BONJOUR ✌

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER ⤵

COAL IS FORMED BY THE ANAEROBIC THERMAL DEGRADATION OF WOOD i.e ALSO CALLED CARBONISATION. IT'S A SLOW PROCESS AND MAY TAKE 1000 OF YRS TO TAKE PLACE. THUS, THE SLOW CONVERSION OF WOOD INTO COAL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PRESSURE AND IN THE ABSENCE OF AIR IS TERMED AS CARBONISATION.
