Question

Under high temperature and pressure, dead plants get slowly converted to coal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Fossil fuel:

• The dead remains of plants buried under the earth’s surface under high pressure and temperature and in absence of air slowly convert into coal.
• Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted to coal.
• As coal contains mainly carbon, the slow process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called carbonization.
• Since it was formed from the remains of vegetation, coal is also called a fossil fuel.

Thus, the given statement is true. “Under high temperature and pressure, dead plants get slowly converted to coal”.
