The production of coal requires many steps, beginning with peat moss and followed by:

• peat buried by sediment

• water squeezed out of peat by pressure

• addition of heat and more pressure

This entire process takes place —

• over the life span of the moss plant

• over a 12-month period, depending on weather conditions

• over millions of years

• over the span of a decade
