Hello!

Here is your answer!
==========================================================

Coal is nothing but a black shaped spherical ball But yeah millions and millions of years ago probably at the prehistoric age of dinosaurs...When dinosaurs and other Small or large animals died...they got degraded into the soil as u know but this soil or mud year by year got formed a layer to layer and so on and after that they got compressed into rock,above the rock containing the earlier invertebrate fossils.

Again millions.......of years later, the bodies of horse like creatures dying in the area are fossilised in rocks above those earlier rocks.

Much-----later, by erosion or water flow wears away some of the rock and exposes the horse structure and if we dig and dig deep under the soil we will get those fossils of dinosaurs of which some of them had slowly decayed into coal......Petroleum was formed because of the dead organisms present in the sea due to the high pressure by the above layers of sand.

==========================================================

Hope it helps!

Heya friend,

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Coal and petroleum are two important fossil fuels.

Formation of coal

Coal and other fossil fuels take millions of years to form. About 300 millions years ago the earth has dense forests in low lying with land area. Due to the natural process like flooding, this forest got buried under the soil.

As more soil deposited over than they were compheresed. The temperature also rose as they sank differ.

Under high pressure and high temperature, a dead plants got slowly converted to coal.



Formation of petroleum

Petroleum are obtained from carcasses of dead animal buried underground and subjected to immense heat and pressure.

Oven a period spending millions of years success it generation of animals live and dead only to become fossilized.

Decomposed by material excel the decomposed by organic matter which with the sun trapped energy what buried differ and differ.

Over millions of years , absence of air , high temperature and high pressure transformed the dead organisms.


Thanks
