Most coal comes from the Carboniferous period, which ended 290 million years ago.
Low grade lignite coals can form in a few thousand years or sometimes less, but they still contain some water and burn very poorly.

How long does it take to turn coal into a diamond?
A long time
Why coal is a nonrenewable resource?
Coal is not a renewable resource beacuse it was formed by plants and rocks millions of years ago and cannot be remade it is considered a fossil fuel
Both diamonds and coal are compressed of carbon but are they both minerals?
No, diamond is a mineral. Coal is an igneous rock; it can take years for coal to form.
How long does it take for coal to renew itself?
millions of years
What energy changes take place when coal is burned?
When coal is burned, chemical energy changes to thermal energy. The energy of sunlight was stored in the organic molecules of dead plants, which were compressed and altered to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Burning the coal oxidizes these molecules, releasing heat.
Approximately how long does it take for coal to form?

Is there carbon dioxide in coal?
yes when during photosynthesis plants take co2 n whn they decomposed they form coal
How long does it take for coal to renew itself?
millions of years
Is coal a sustainable resource?
nocan not be replaced / takes a long time to form

Is coal a a renewable energy souce?
No, coal took many millions of years to form, which makes it definitely non-renewable. That's because when it's all used up, there would be a long wait for more coal to form.
