It is dependent on the type of plants and animals that grew in the particular areas millions of years ago. Peaty swamplands produced coal deposits, while more tropical vegetation produced oil or Bitumen deposits. Dry savannas and forested areas with high mineral contents instead created no fossil fuels due to the high likelihood of aerobic decomposition of undergrowth. While some forests produced "petrified" fossilized wood, in the absence of sufficient water to decompose the vegetation.

Why do you think are metallic deposits abundant in places where are trenches or volcanoes?

Metallic deposits are abundant in places where there are volcanoes because of the minerals emitted from the volcano. Large amounts of metallic deposits are found in trenches because of the creation of the trench by clashing of the Earths plates.
