Solution

  • Coal is formed from the plants and trees that got buried under the surface of Earth millions of years ago.
  • These buried plants and trees got subjected to high pressure and high temperature in the absence of Oxygen
  • This led to a slow chemical process that ultimately formed coal from them by the process of carbonization.

Therefore, carbonization is a slow chemical process of the conversion of wood or trees (buried inside the Earth’s surface) into coal.
