Question

Which correctly compares how coal and oil are formed?

A.
Coal results from the compressed remains of plant matter, while oil is the compressed remains of marine organisms. Oil was made due to pressure and heat under buried layers of rock over millions of years, while coal was made by heating the compressed remains from magma underneath.

Answer 2

"Both coal and oil are carbon-based fuels – they’re made up mostly of carbon and hydrogen. Coal usually forms from buried tissues of higher plants. Most of Earth’s coal originated as trees, ferns, and other tropical forest plants that lived in a warmer time in our history. That’s why the world’s coal beds are found on land.

Oil mostly originated as very simple organisms – such as bacteria, algae and plankton. This organic matter – and often the sandstone or limestone beds that hold the oil – was deposited in marine or lake basins, and in the ocean. Both oil and coal are non-renewable – once we use up all we have, it’s gone."
