COAL

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.
