coal deposits

Coal deposits are natural accumulations of the dead plant material that formed over millions of years under high pressure and heat. These deposits are found in underground or surface locations where plant matter was buried and preserved. Over time, the organic material transformed into carbon-rich coal through geological processes. They serve as important fossil fuel sources, used primarily for electricity generation and industrial processes. The size, type, and quality of coal deposits depend on factors like the original plant material, the geological conditions, and the time involved in the transformation process.
