Coal is a sedimentary rock which is made of small rocks,dead plants and the fossils of dead animals which are buried deep in the ground.That is why it is deep in the ground. = )

I have asked the same question but still waiting for an answer
I can find how the earths crust was formed but why has it built up over the years to leave coal seams up to 1000 metres down ?

Why is coal so deep inside the earth?
as coal is made of pplant remains that have been buried long ago,it is so deep inside earth.
How does weight of a body vary inside the earth?
People are (so far) not able to get very deep inside the Earth, so there is not that much variation, however, the closer you get to the center of the Earth, the less you would weigh. At the exact center you would be weightless.
Is peat the first stage of coal?
It can be, but not all peat becomes coal, and not all coal began as peat. Peat forms on the Earth's surface, while coal has to form within rock layers deep in the Earth. Coal takes many thousands of years to form. Peat forms more quickly, but only at about 1 mm depth per year. So neither can be considered a renewable form of energy.
What is a hyperbole for the snow was so deep?
The snow is so deep that it reached the Earth's core. The snow is so deep it was a part of the ocean. The snow was so deep that it was full of gasoline.
What causes magma to form deep inside earth?
Magma is molten meaning liquid-like so it is able to move inside earth. The tectonic plates separate the earth and magma. This explains when the plates move earthquakes and volcanoes occur. Lava is not magma by the way! lava is hardened magma and magma is molten!
Would gneiss be more likely to form at shallow depths or at great depths where mountains are pushed up?
No , because it has to be deep inside the earth so it ca be pushed up.
Is coal a infinite resource?
No, there is only so much coal in the ground, and once that is gone it will take millions of years for the earth make more.
Magma from deep inside earth rises toward the surface because?
Because magma is less dense than surrounding solid rock, so it is forced upward toward the surface.
Where do faults occur on earth and why?
Faulting is a type of brittle deformation; rocks crack and then move along those cracks. Deep inside Earth rocks are hotter and softer, so they will deform in a ductile manner, stretching and flowing like taffy.

The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
