Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are all formed from decayed organic matter that was buried for millions of years, which became chemically changed to denser complex hydrocarbons.
Peat is a less-compressed form of this material, produced more (relatively) recently.
Petroleum and natural gas are formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient marine organisms such as phytoplankton and zooplankton that were buried and subjected to heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. This process transforms the organic material into fossil fuels.
Natural gases are primarily formed from the decomposition of organic matter underground over millions of years. This process includes the breakdown of plant and animal remains in the absence of oxygen under high pressure and temperature conditions. Once formed, natural gases migrate through porous rocks until they are trapped beneath impermeable layers, forming natural gas fields.
Petroleum and natural gas form from the remains of microscopic sea organisms that have settled on the ocean floor over millions of years. The intense pressure and heat from the Earth's crust gradually transform these organic materials into hydrocarbons, which make up petroleum and natural gas. The process of decomposition and transformation is known as thermal maturation.
They started out as the remains of marine animals and plants.
Petroleum and natural gas mostly form from the remains of marine organisms like plankton and algae that accumulate on the ocean floor over millions of years. As these organic materials are buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature, they undergo chemical changes to become petroleum and natural gas.

Methane, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), butane, propane, acetylene, ethylene are gases that can be used as fuels.
Materials derived from petroleum, natural gas, or asphalt deposits; includes gasolines, diesel and heating fuels, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG and bugas), lubricants, waxes, greases, petroleum coke, petrochemicals, and (from sour crudes and natural gases) sulfur.

An upward fold in a rock layer can, under certain circumstances, act as a trap for rising gases and petroleum.

Cole is a jackass
They started out as the remains of marine animals and plants.
They both are fossil fuels. Trust me i am looking at a science book right now!
