Coal is dead and converted biomass. When living plants die and are quickly submerged in fresh water, decay cannot occur. Large quantities of biomass were thus layered and, over many thousands of years, compressed and changes to become coal. The material that coal started out as was living plant material.

What is the parent material for coal?
Coal is derived from the remains of ancient plants that accumulated in swampy environments over millions of years. This organic material underwent heat and pressure and eventually transformed into coal.

Coal takes millions of years to form from the pressure of dead plants and trees in swamps.
What is the first stage in coal formation?
The first stage in coal formation is the accumulation of organic material such as dead plants in a swampy environment. This organic material undergoes decomposition in the absence of oxygen, leading to the formation of peat.
Coal is formed by the compression of?
Coal is formed by the compression of dead plant material over millions of years. This organic material undergoes chemical and physical changes due to pressure and heat, transforming it into coal.

Is coal a living thing or a non living thing?
Coal is not a living thing. It is produced by a biological and geological process that takes many years, beginning with dead plant matter being converted to peat. That peat then becomes converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then bituminous coal, and then anthracite. The natural coal that is found in the US was formed about 325 million years ago.
