How does coal form and what is it made from?
Coal is formed from buried vegetation over 300 million years ago. The material formed is called peat. the earth structure changes and deposits of sand and other material are dropped on the peat, putting a lot of pressure and temperature on the material squeezing out water from the material which then gives yield to coal.
How long did it take to form coal?
100 million years (APEX) ;)
How old is coal?
Coal should be around 360 and 286 million years old because most of the coal in the world was formed in the Carboniferous Period, which occured 360 and 280 million years ago.
How many years does it take to make coal?
1 million years
How long does coal take to be formed?
100-300+ Million Years Ago

Approximately how long does it take for coal to form?
100 Million years
How long has coal been around?
20 million years
Why there are no human fossils in coal?
Coal fossils formation begin about 60 million to 290 million years ago (before human existence) therefore no human fossils are found in coal.
How long has coal been in the earth?
The coal was laid down in the carboniferous - about 359.2 ± 2.5 million years ago.
Suggest why there are no human fossils in coal?
The period of coal formation began during the Carboniferous Period 360 million to 290 million years ago. This predates the existence of humans and even mammals by several hundred million years.

100-300+ Million Years Ago
