Coalification requires the burial of thick layers of peat The pressure of the layers deposited above the peat begins to compress the plant materials and squeezes the water from them Pressure heat and time cause many changes in the materials as is evidenced by the formation of methane gas The process increases the carbon percentage of the coal
