The spheres that interact in the formation of coal are:
- **biosphere** (because coal is formed from the remains of living things)
- **geosphere** (because the remains are buried and subjected to pressure and temperature beneath the Earth’s surface)
The atmosphere, cryosphere, and hydrosphere do not directly play a role in the formation of coal.
