The document compares the formation processes of coal, oil, and natural gas. Coal forms from dead microorganisms and organic matter buried under sedimentary rock over millions of years. Oil forms similarly from dead marine plants and animals buried under ocean sediments, where heat and pressure compress the remains into oil reservoirs. Natural gas also originates from dead marine organisms and compresses under sediment pressure into gas deposits over long periods.
