The conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called coalification.At various times in the geologic past, the Earth had dense forests in low-lying wetland areas. In these wetlands, the process of coalification began when dead plant matter was protected from biodegradation and oxidation, usually by mud or acidic water, and was converted into peat.This trapped the carbon in immense peat bogs ...
