Both coal and petroleum are fossil fuels. Coal is a solid fossil fuel, with between 65-95% carbon; it also contains hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen. Coal is actually a sedimentary rock formed under the ground from peat due the pressure of rocks in layers above it. Petroleum is a yellow to black liquid found in geological formations below the earth. Both have formed when large quantities of living organisms were buried under sedimentary rock over millions of years and have been subjected to intense heat and pressure.
