This photograph shows a mountainside with exposed coal beds interlayered with sandstone and shale. The coal was formed as debris
from the landscape and was gradually buried 4 to 10 km deep over a very long period of time. Under the right conditions, what type of initial landscape could these coal beds have formed from?
A hot and very swampy environment, full of plants and stagnant water
