What is Coal & Coal Deposit?
Coal is an organic sedimentary rock that forms
from the accumulation and preservation of plant
materials, usually in a swamp environment.
Coal Deposits are large concentrations of coal, a

coal deposits are usually called coal beds or coal 5
seams.
 Origin of Coal
Deposits

EVIDENCE OF COAL DEPOSITS

Coal Beds were formed from the compaction
and decomposition of swamp plants that lived
6
million years ago. Because coal takes millions of
years to develop and there is a limited amount
of it, it is a nonrenewable resource. The
conditions that would eventually create coal
began to develop about 300 million years ago.

Richard Strauss notes that the world’s coal
deposits “were laid down during the
Carboniferous period, about 300 million years
ago—which was 75 million or so years before
the evolution of the first dinosaurs.”

Antarctic’s Coal Seams
Wegener noted the 'unusual' deposits of coal in 9
the South Polar regions. The fossils of tropical
plants, in the form of coal deposits, were also
found in Antarctica.

 CONCLUSION
There have been glacial deposits founded in the
tropics and coal founded in Antarctica. This
supports the theory of the Continental Drift,
because coal originates from tropical plants,
which can only be founded in the tropics.

ASSIGNMENT
Additionally glacial deposits can only come
from Antarctica, proving the theory. 13
