The conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called coalification. At various times in the geologic past, the Earth had dense forests[16] 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 that were eventually deeply buried by sediments.
Favorable geography alone does not explain the extensive Carboniferous coal beds.[23] Other factors contributing to rapid coal deposition were high oxygen levels, above 30%, that promoted intense wildfires and formation of charcoal that was all but indigestible by decomposing organisms; high carbon dioxide levels that promoted plant growth; and the nature of Carboniferous forests, which included lycophyte trees whose determinate growth meant that carbon was not tied up in heartwood of living trees for long periods
One likely tectonic factor was the Central Pangean Mountains, an enormous range running along the equator that reached its greatest elevation near this time. Climate modeling suggests that the Central Pangean Mountains contributed to the deposition of vast quantities of coal in the late Carboniferous. The mountains created an area of year-round heavy precipitation, with no dry season typical of a monsoon climate. This is necessary for the preservation of peat in coal swamps
Coal is known from Precambrian strata, which predate land plants
The cellulose and hemicellulose component ranges from 5% to 40%
As geological processes apply pressure to dead biotic material over time, under suitable conditions
Chemical changes are accompanied by physical changes, such as decrease in average pore size
