Coal begins as dead plant material (trees, ferns, leaves-- typically) which fall into oxygen depleted waters in low energy swamp or swamp-like setting. The oxygen depleted water prevents the total decay of the plant material which is compacted and lithified by the addition of subsequent deposits or deposition of other sediments.

What is heterolithic beds?
This means a rock which is formed of many layers (or beds) of two or more different sedimentary rocks. For example, a rock which was formed in a river delta may contain sandstones and silt or claystones which are layed over each other in beds formed as the depositional environment changed on a cyclical basis - e.g. due to tides, seasons etc.

What is a brief summary for the section stratification in the Earth space science book?
stratification is the layering of sedimentary rocks. stratification occurs when the conditions of sediments deposition change. the conditions may vary when there is a change in sediment type or of depositional environment. an area that was once a beach to become as shallow ocean is cause by a rise in sea level. stratified layers, or beds, vary in thickness depending on the length of time during which sediments is deposited. beds that has no internal structure is called massive bed.

When did coal beds form?
Coal beds formed during the Carboniferous Period, approximately 300 to 360 million years ago. This period was characterized by extensive forests being buried and compressed over time, eventually transforming into coal deposits.
