Is coal a type soil?

No. See related links. Both coal and soil have technical definitions. Coal is a sedimentary rock with several definable types such as anthracite coal. Per Wikipedia, soil is the naturally occurring, unconsolidated or loose covering on the Earth's surface. Soil is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical, biological and environmental processes including weathering and erosion. Now, in the mining of coal, the top layer of earth may be removed, and can contain bits of coal. This may be referred to as the matrix or overburden of the deposit. So bits of coal may be found in soil, but coal is not a type of soil.
