Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that accumulated in swampy environments millions of years ago. Over time, layers of sediment buried these organic materials, subjecting them to heat and pressure. This process, known as coalification, transformed the plant material through physical and chemical changes into various types of coal, such as lignite, bituminous, and anthracite. The specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and time determine the type and quality of the coal formed.
