Question

Which shows the correct order of steps in the formation of coal? Layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is buried by rocks and dirt → dead plants fall in swamp → plant matter is compressed and is exposed to heat → coal forms Plant matter is compressed and is exposed to heat → dead plants fall in swamp → layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is buried by rocks and dirt → coal forms Plant matter is buried by rocks and dirt → dead plants fall in swamp → layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is compressed and is exposed to heat → coal forms Dead plants fall in swamp → layers of dead plants pile up → plant matter is buried by rocks and dirt → plant matter is compressed and is exposed to heat → coal forms

Answer 1

The answer is :

Step-by-step explanation:

D

Answer 2

The appropriate answer is d. Dead plants in a swampy environment is the perfect environment for the beginning of the coal forming process. Over time layers pile up in this anaerobic environment. The plant or organic material gets buried overtime by dirt or rocks. Millions of years of burial will expose the matter to heat and pressure and will eventually lead to the formation of coal and other petroleum products.
