Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons that is formed from the carbonization of dead plants and organisms over millions of years. It exists in different forms depending on the degree of carbonization, with anthracite undergoing the most and lignite the least, and is an energy source that causes problems like acid rain and emissions when burned due to its composition.

Coal is a combustible black or brownish- black sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons.
The chemical and
organic process these dead organisms undergo to become coal is known as Carbonization. Coal is ranked very high if it has undergone a longer carbonization Using coal to produce period energy causes many some problems, usually on a greater scale than the use of oil or gas. These problems include acid rain, sulfur oxide emission, carbon dioxide emission, poorer land, hazardous waste and others
Several forms of coal exist in the world.
Anthracite, bituminous coal, lignite, and sub-bituminous coal are all different types that are used by humans.
