Essay on coal and petroleum |
|
Answer» Answer: COAL and petroleum are formed as a result of degradation of ancient plant life which lived millions of YEARS ago. These dead plant matter started to pile up, eventually FORMING a substance called peat. Over time, heat and PRESSURE from geological processes TRANSFORMED these materials into coal. Since these are formed from essentially fossils, they are also known as fossil fuels. |
