Everything You Need To Know About Coal.
The Definition.
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock,
formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with
variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen,
and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat
and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over
millions of years.Vast deposits of coal originate in former wetlands
called coal forests that covered much of the Earth's tropical land areas
during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times.
