Organic rock Coal formation

Lignite Bituminous Anthracite Plants grow in swamps or bogs. Each season they die. This happens over and over forming layers of dead material. No oxygen is available to continue rotting The top layer that gets very little oxygen is a soft brown coal called lignite. It’s very moist and does not burn well but smolders. The layer below that has much of its moisture removed due to the pressure of the weight of material above. It is a black soft coal that burns hot and quickly. The last layer has nearly no moisture and has begun to crystallize. Burns hot and long.
