The process is the sedimentation and lithification of ancient plant remains through compaction and removal of water via overburden pressure.
Start with a lush tropical swamp. Vegetation grows and dies, falling in the water but not decomposing. Millions of years of this occurs. Thickness of dead plant material grows and grows. Then, over millions of more years, this organic sediment is covered by a sea that comes and goes, depending on plate movement and crustal uplifting and rifting, depositing vast amounts of sand, mud, and clays over them. The pressure of the sediments above squeeze the water out of the organic sediment below, and in time these organic sediments become lithified (turned into rock).

What chemical forms from gas coal and oil burning?
Any burning process release carbon dioxide.
What is fractional distillation of coal?
the process of separating several mixtures of coal with the process of fractional distillation
What element is found in coal or diamonds?
Coal and diamonds are both forms of carbon.
Which process is anthracite coal formed from bituminous coal?
metamorphism
Cane you find gems in coal mines?
That would be pretty rare. The process that forms gemstones, and the process that forms coal are two entirely different matters. Where you find one, you would be unlikely to find the other.
Which element forms both coal and diamonds?
The element that forms both coal and diamond is Carbon.
Why can't coal form in the arctic?
Coal forms from peat, and peat forms in bogs. There is not enough organic material in the arctic to form coal.
Which types of wriking in coal handling process?
The Coal Handling Plant is needed in the coal handling process.
What chemical forms from gas coal and oil burning?
Any burning process release carbon dioxide.
What are coal and oil forms of?
Hydrocarbons
What are the forms of coal called?
Smog
What is fractional distillation of coal?
the process of separating several mixtures of coal with the process of fractional distillation
How is coal converted into other forms of energy?
Coal is normally burned to produce heat. This is done by burning the coal with oxygen from the atmosphere. The process unites carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and the formation of the chemical bonds in this process releases energy as heat. Burning one ton of coal creates about 3 tons of carbon dioxide. The additional mass comes from the oxygen taken from the atmosphere.
What element is found in coal or diamonds?

Both lignite and anthracite are forms of?
coal
