What explains how coal deposits formed?
A coal deposit is a lenticular layer of carbon and carbon compounds formed from the remains of plants and basically ancient Geography explains how coal deposits are formed. To get a coal deposit you need the plants to be growing in swampy conditions so that as plants grow and then die, they fall into the the swamp waters to be replaced by new plants so that in time, a thick layer of dead plants builds up at the bottom the swamp (you need about 3 feet depth of plant matter to eventually form 1 foot of coal). You then need to rapidly bury the dead plants with sediments (sand and mud) before it rots away. Thus we need a swampy place for plants to grow which, every so often, is subject to deposits of sediment. Today we call these places River Deltas. Once the swamp gets buried by more and more sediments, the water gets squeezed out of the plants and over time, as the swamp get buried ever deeper, the heat from inside the earth changes the plants into coal.

What organisms are transformed into oil and coal?
Coal deposits were formed largely from swamp plants, trees, club mosses, and ferns, that inhabited the Permian landscape 300 million years ago (quite some time before the dinosaurs). There were no grasses or flowering plants back then.
What sedimentary rock can be formed can be formed from things that were alive?
1.) Coal. Coal is generally formed from prehistoric plant material usually in a swamp environment The plants die and are buried in a low energy, low oxygen environment. The material then forms coal as a function of pressure, temperature and time. 2.) Coquina. Coquina is a general rock name for another type of sed rock that can be said to have been formed by living creatures. It is a rock almost completely comprised of broken up and weathered fossils of trilobites, mollusks, brachiopods and other invertebrates.
What is the original source of energy for coal?
The sun is the source of the energy found in coal. Plants get energy from the sun through photosynthesis, which drives the chemical reactions that let plants grow and store food. Swamp plants that died millions of years ago were covered over and eventually came under tremendous pressure by being buried under the surface of the earth. This pressure slowly converted them from recognizable plant remains to what we recognize as coal.
