    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.

      On the different origins: https://www.carboeurope.org/how-are-fossil-fuels-formed-the-science-behind-oil-coal-and-natural-gas/

      Oil was effectively plankton and other sea stuff.

      Coal was forests.
