Sedimentary rocks made from compressed plants?

Coal is a type of sedimentary rock that is formed from compressed plants. Over millions of years, layers of plant material are buried and compacted under pressure, eventually transforming into coal through a process called coalification.


The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?

The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.


When some plants died and were buried under layers of sediment was the carbon they removed from the atmosphere locked up as fossil fuels?

Yes, when plants died and were buried under layers of sediment, the carbon they removed from the atmosphere is eventually locked up as fossil fuels after undergoing a process called fossilization over millions of years. Through pressure and heat, organic matter in the plant material transforms into fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.


What is a biochemical rock produced from layers of organic materials?

A biochemical rock formed from layers of organic materials is called coal. Coal forms from the remains of plants that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years, eventually turning into a solid carbon-rich rock. It is a valuable source of energy used for generating electricity and heat in many parts of the world.


Is pressure a factor of a fossil fuel?

Pressure is not a factor in the formation of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried under sedimentary layers over millions of years. The heat and compression from these layers transform the organic material into fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.

What are hardened remains of plants and animals?

The hardened remains of plants and animals are typically bones or fossils. Fossils are the hardened remains that are formed due to pressure from being squished between Earth's layers.


What must occur in order for plants remains to be changed into a fossil fuels?

Plant remains must undergo a process called burial and compaction where they are buried under layers of sediment and subject to high pressure. Over millions of years, the plant remains undergo heat and chemical changes leading to the formation of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
