Both coal and oil are carbon-based fossil fuels that must be extracted from underground.
Coal is similar to other fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas because all are formed from organic matter over millions of years, and they are used as sources of energy for electricity generation and heating. It is also similar to peat, as it is the precursor to coal and forms in similar environments.
Coal is formed from the remains of plants that have been compacted and heated over millions of years. Oil is formed in a similar way but from the remains of marine organisms such as plankton. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels, created through the process of decomposition and pressure under the Earth's surface.
Oil generally burns at a similar temperature to gas, but hotter than coal. The burning temperature can also depend on the specific type of oil or gas being used.
Coal can be converted to oil . The South African's during the years of Apartheid, when they suffered a trade embargo on oil, developed the industrial process of converting coal to oil, viz. SASOL. South Africa has millions of tons of coal that can be mined.
Coal is to oil as mine is to minerals. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels extracted from the earth, just as minerals are extracted from mines.

Use water and coal. :D
coal and oil come from many different places. Like coal from mines. oil from the ground.
Only natural gas does.
Coal AND Oil
1. Oil 2. Coal 3. Natural Gas...
The term means a product similar to coal and mined the same way. Some is made by using coking oven from coal. Coal is cheaper and that is why it is used more often. Coke is cleaner and other methods should be looked into before coal and oil run out.

The three main fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas
