It is the carbon residue remaining from the organism or part of an organism that has been fossilized. Essentially what happens is that the organism is buried within a layer of sediment which solidifies. A chemical reaction takes place in which many of the elements that compose the organism are converted to gases and driven off, leaving behind a carbon residue (distillation) - and an outline of the original material.

How is carbonization used to to identify how old something is?
carbonization
Is the chemical reaction of carbonization with other substances called oxidation?
No, it's called carbonization (wheathering of limestone)

Coal is formed due to the process of?
Carbonization
Can dead birds cause burning fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels like coal and petroleum result due to the carbonization process that occurs during the "fossilization" of trees and plant matter. The meat of a dead bird would not produce any fossil fuels. The death and decomposition of a bird will release greenhouse gasses, just like fossil fuels do when burned for energy, but this does not make the bird a fossil fuel since there is no fuel (for human use) derived from this activity.

What is carbonization of coal?
heating of coal in absence of air
What Petroleum forms in permeable rock due to?
Carbonization
Is it true or false that Coal is produced by the process of Carbonization?
False.
What is carbonisation of coal?
The destructive distillation of coal is known as carbonization of coal.
Difference between high temperature carbonization and low temperature carbonization?
Low temperature carbonization : It is done at a temperature off about 500-700 C. It produces semi coke due to incomplete carbonization of coal. The coke oven gases produced have a lower calorific value. The tar produced is aliphatic in nature. The coke produced is more reactive, weaker in strength and large in size. High Temperature Carbonization : Done at a temperature range of 900-1100 C. It produces metallurgical coke. The coke gases have a higher calorific value. The tar produced contains more of the aromatics and the coke obtained is denser and less reactive
