minus-squareRunawayFixer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up55·8日前No, most coal comes from plants in swamps, because the water helped preserve the organic matter. Plants in swamps die -> organic matter on the bottom of the swamp -> peat -> brown coal -> black coal. Oil apparently comes mostly from plankton.
