Answer: Fossil Fuels are formed when organic matter that has been buried deep within the earth are subject to heat and pressure over millions of years. ... In the case of oil and natural gas, the organic material is marine in origin, whereas coal is formed from ancient peat forests.

HOPE THIS HELPS :))!!
