Coal is formed as the result of various biological and geological processes on dead and decaying plant matter. The formation of coal happens over millions of years. The plant matter gets buried under dirt and water. The plant matter is then converted to coal due to the action of heat and pressure. Coal mainly contains carbon and the process of conversion of dead plant matter into coal is called carbonisation.
