Coal is formed in warm areas. Why have coal deposits been found in Alaska?

• Pressure from the upper layers caused the area to be warm enough to create the coal.

• A large earthquake displaced the land.

• It is warm under the crust, so coal can still form there.

• Portions of the continent must have been located in a tropical area at some time.
