How is coal formed
Answered by GPT 3.5
Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that grew in swamps and marshes millions of years ago. These plants eventually died and fell into the water, where they were buried under layers of sediment. Over time, the pressure from the overlying sediment and the heat from the Earth's crust caused the plant material to undergo chemical and physical changes, turning it into coal. The process of coal formation, known as coalification, can take millions of years to complete.
