Coal and petroleum mainly consist of carbon and its compounds. They are the most used form of fossil fuels. Coal is formed when the dead organic matter such as plants and animals decay and are subjected to high pressure and temperature for a very long period of time under the earth’s surface. The formation of coal and petroleum is a continuous process and it takes millions of years for the formation of these fossil fuels by natural processes. Since the major content of coal is carbon and the formation of coal starts with dead organic matter,the process of conversion of dead organic matter into coal is referred to as carbonization.
