[insert: LA1-txt6-coal-formation.jpg]
The diagrams show the process by which coal was formed over a period of millions of years. First of all, large plants 1 had lived in enormous swamps a long time ago. These 2 died and dropped to the bottom of the water. Over the years, the dead plants formed a layer, which became deeper and deeper. More and more earth and dirt 3 was built up on top of this layer. Subsequently, this layer 4 was covered by rocks and dirt, and so the energy of the dead plants 5 was trapped underneath. As the pressure and the heat grew over time, the layer of dead plants 6 turned  into coal. Seams of coal were formed, and coal 7 is being now mined.
