Answer 1

Plants and trees inhabited the land and the seas about 300 million years ago.

Organisms died and were buried on the ocean floor and in swampy areas.

Layers of silt and sand covered their bodies.

The organic matter in their bodies was subjected to great heat and pressure deep inside the crust.

The enormous heat and pressure-formed coal over millions of years.
