Coal is formed from dead plant matter, including trees, that was buried under layers of sediment millions of years ago. Over time, the plant material underwent heat and pressure, transforming it into coal through a process called coalification. This process converts the organic material into different forms of coal, such as lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite, based on the depth of burial and heat applied.
