There three types of coal; anthracite, bituminous, and lignite.
COAL is formed from ferns, plants
Anthracite is the hardest and releases the most energy; lignite

through mining. Mines are created from shafts dug into areas that

mining technique, strip mining, entails removing all of the soil and
rock above the coal and then replacing the soil and rocks after the
coal has been collected.

Once the fossil fuels are collected, they are transported
to the power plant. The fossil fuels are then burned to
heat water. When the fossil fuels' many hydrocarbon

to rotate a magnet encased in a generator a high

and they power the electricity grid.
