Actually, any kind of plant/animal could have died to form coal. But not just any type of coal. Bituminous coal, to be exact. This happens when dead plant/animal's remains (though mostly plant, a small percentage of bituminous coal is from animal remains) are buried under a body of water (usually a swamp) and decay there for a while, forming a thick layer. Then it needs to be buried by a lot of 'sediments', usually mud/sand to compress the plant/animal remains into coal.

Why are plants important to animals?
Animals get most of their energy and nutrition from plants. Animals either eat the plants, or eat animals that ate the plants. Also, it gives animals a place to live. Such as spiders, ants, moles, and other animals. Plants also provide animals oxygen.
How do plants and animals live together?
Symbiosis is the term used when living organisms form partnerships in order to survive. This includes plants, animals, and microorganisms.
What do plants give animals?
Plants provide animals with food in the form of fruits, seeds, leaves, and nectar. They also offer shelter, nesting material, and protection from predators. Additionally, plants play a vital role in maintaining the oxygen levels in the atmosphere which animals need for respiration.
What is the name of the tiny plants and animals on which fish feed?
The ones in the sea eat plankton which are microscoptic animals and plants that live in the water.
Plants reproduce asexually while animals reproduce sexually?
Incorrect. Various types of plants and animals undergo both sexual an asexual reproduction. Many plants need to be pollinated, a form of sexual reproduction. Many animals undergo parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction.
How are depositions form?
Millions of years of pressure and heat turned decaying animals and plants into coal.
How is coal connected to the sun?
Coal is made from the decayed body parts of animals and plants so after a couple of days the particles from the plants and animals will start to be covered by leaves from trees and other things and for coal to be formed you must have heat and pressure and after a couple of years the decayed particles with the heat and pressure it will eventually form into coal and also plants get energy from the sun and animals get energy from the plants so that's how coal is related to the sun
Where is coal begin to form from?
Coal is formed from plants, which turned into peat, then lignite, then coal.
How did coal and uranium form?
Coal is produced by sunlight falling on plants. These plants then get fossilised to form the coal.Uranium is formed by Stars as they explode in Supernova explosions.
What do nonrenewable resources form from?
Well, most of them come from prehistoric animals, trees. plants etc these make oil, gas, coal, etc
Did animals and plants form bituminous coal?
Bituminous coal is largely the product of ancient plant remains, although some animals would have contributed to a very small percentage of its mass.
What is a fossil fuel created from plant deposits millions of years ago?
Dead organisms are pressed down underground. [APEX]
What is the stored form of carbohydrate in plants and animals respictively?
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
What takes millions of years to form from the pressure of dead plants and trees in swamps?
Coal takes millions of years to form from the pressure of dead plants and trees in swamps.
Why are coalpetroleum and natural gas considered as nonrenewable if they were from dead plants and animals?
Coal, petroleum and natural gas took millions of years to form. Which is why they are classed as non-renewable resources.
Why is coal energy non renewable?
Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form from the remains of plants and animals. Once it is extracted and burned to generate energy, it cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.
What makes coal?
Coal is a fossil fuel created from the remains of ancient plants that have been buried and subjected to high pressure over millions of years. The carbon in the plants is preserved in the form of coal after this process of transformation.
