anthracite
anthracite coal is the metamorphic form of bituminous coal which is the sedimentary form. in other words it has been heated under pressure.
Density of Coal may vary, depends on the type (structure) and form. Below are some density of coal : - Coal, Anthracite, solid 1.506 gr/ml - Coal, Anthracite, broken 1.105 gr/ml - Coal, Bituminous, solid 1.346 gr/ml - Coal, Bituminous, broken 0.833 gr/ml
Coal is classified into four general categories, or "ranks." They range from lignite through sub-bituminous and bituminous to anthracite, reflecting the progression of individual deposits of coal to increasing heat and pressure. Anthracite coal has the highest carbon content, frequently associated with home heating. Bituminous coal is the most plentiful form of coal in the United States, and is used primarily to generate electricity and make coke for the steel industry. Sub-bituminous coal ranks below bituminous. This coal generally has a lower sulfur content than other types, which makes it attractive for use because it is cleaner burning. Lignite coal is a geologically young coal which has the lowest carbon content, 25-35 percent. Sometimes called brown coal, it is mainly used for electric power generation. Hope it helped :)
Yes. Lignite is also known as brown coal. It is not exactly the same as coal (bituminous or anthracite) but it is near the beginning of the process that makes coal. Lignite has about 1/3 to 1/2 the carbon content of coal.
The names for the different types of coal depends on the organic content. The coal with the lowest percentage of organic matter is anthracite. (around 10 % organics) Then comes steam coal, bituminous coal. (around 20 %) Lignite is a form of coal with high organic content (around 50 %) Peat is a coal precursor (half way to being coal) (More than 50 %)
Anthracite is metamorphosed bituminous coal, a coal with the highest percentage of carbon of the coal varieties.

no not all of them for example like Bituminous coal or coal, is form by plant remains
Bituminous coal is largely the product of ancient plant remains, although some animals would have contributed to a very small percentage of its mass.

Depends on which one. Diamond is a metamorphosed coal/carbon that is the hardest natural substance known. Marble is metamorphosed limestone that is much softer. It's safe to say that all metamorphosed rocks are harder than they were in their pre-metamorphosed form.

The protolith of schist is typically shale or slate, which undergoes metamorphism to form schist. The protolith of anthracite coal is primarily bituminous coal, which is subjected to higher temperature and pressure conditions during metamorphism to convert into anthracite coal.
The materials formed at each step of the process are 1) Peat 2) Lignite 3) Sub-Bituminous and Bituminous Coal 4) Anthracite (may also form from oil) The final stage, which most coal does not reach, is graphite or pure carbon.
