Why is the period of rock formation about 360 million years ago called the Carboniferous Period?
The period is called the Carboniferous because rocks from that time period are rich in coal. The rocks are rich in coal because much of the Earth was covered in swamps. The pete moss was then put under tremendous pressure and heat over millions of years, forming the coal.
