Coal deposits were formed largely from swamp plants, trees, club mosses, and ferns, that inhabited the Permian landscape 300 million years ago (quite some time before the dinosaurs). There were no grasses or flowering plants back then.
Coal was formed from the remains of plants and animals under high pressure. The sediment on top of the remains provides the pressure to convert peat into coal.
Dead rotting plantlife and animals
is it transformed?
No. Coal is made from fossilised organisms and vegetation. Crude oil is mostly found underground, and can be seperated into different hydrocarbons, such as petrol and kerosine.
Usually it is burned.
Generally carbon compounds are completely destroyed by chemical degradation, microorganisms, insects etc. In some conditions of pressure, temperature, lack of oxygen organic wastes were transformed in oil, coal, methane.
A fossil fuel is a natural fuel such as gas or coal. It is formed from living organisms remains.
a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Coal and oil products .
Use water and coal. :D
shale
Coal oil is only found in cannel coal and bituminous shale coal.
Fossil fuels like coal and oil.
No, it is formed when forests die and are covered with layers of rock which compress it and over time turns it into coal. Buried remains of marine organisms formed oil, following mass extinctions,where the oceans have stagnated.
