∙ 7y agoFossil fuels have a range of periods of time to form:
- peat can form in as little as a few hundred years
- soft and hard coal takes hundreds of thousands to millions of years to form
- petroleum usually requires millions of years to form
- natural gas takes a very wide range of time to form
- etc.
