    Didn’t those trees become coal, not oil?

      I think near water they became oil and far from water they became coal

        No, most coal comes from plants in swamps, because the water helped preserve the organic matter.

        Plants in swamps die -> organic matter on the bottom of the swamp -> peat -> brown coal -> black coal.

        Oil apparently comes mostly from plankton.

        Oil was effectively plankton and other sea stuff.

        Coal was forests.

          Brother I finally found you.

          We come from the same place you and me. Remember that barn?

      Yes. I made mention of this in a reply to someone else as well. I’m not sure if my teacher (like 30 years ago) told us wrong or if I simply remembered it wrong.
