Coal is formed in swampy environments with abundant plant material that accumulates and is buried over time. The plant material undergoes the process of diagenesis, where heat and pressure transform it into coal.

Coal is typically formed in swamp environments, where abundant plant material accumulates and is buried over time. The anaerobic conditions in these swamps prevent the complete decay of the plant material, leading to its transformation into coal through a process called coalification.
Coal is formed in a swampy, low-oxygen environment where plant material can accumulate and slowly decompose. Over time, the accumulated plant material undergoes compaction and chemical changes, transforming into coal.
They were formed from the remains of the prolific plant material growing in vast marshy areas in the Carboniferous. The plant remains did not rot in their shallow water environment and formed layer after layer of sediment which was eventually covered with subsequent layers of additional sediments resulting in their compaction and cementation in a process of lithification.

Sedimentary depositional environment
Eskers were formed by depositional processes. They are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel that were deposited by meltwater streams flowing in tunnels beneath glaciers during the last Ice Age.

Bedding planes in sedimentary rocks indicate the separate layers or strata in which the sediment has been deposited over time. These planes can provide important information about the environment in which the rock was formed, including factors like sedimentation rate, depositional environment, and past geological events.
a high energy depositional environment is one in which enough energy was present to transport large materials such as rocks and boulders. a low energy depositional environment like a stream is only able to transport materials such as fine sands.
Answer Moderately sorted and fossiliferous would indicate perhaps a continental shelf depositional area.
