Plant material :)
What else can I help you with?
The first stage in the information of coal is?
Rotting vegetation is overlaid by more rotting vegetation or other material. This is compressed by the mass above and form peat. Compression of the peat continues and form lignite (brown coal) Compression continues on the lignite to form coal (clack shiny rock) Compression may continue to form anthracite , the hardest form of coal . NB with each compression watert/moisture is expelled, so coal and anthracite are very dry.
Were can coal form?
Coal can form in swamps and marshes that have abundant plant material, deposition of sediments, and lack of oxygen. The plant material decays and undergoes chemical and physical changes over millions of years, eventually forming peat, which then transforms into coal under high pressure and heat.
Where do coal beds form?
Coal beds form from the accumulation of plant material in swamps and wetlands over millions of years. The plant material is buried and subjected to heat and pressure, transforming it into coal. This process typically occurs in areas with high plant productivity and slow decomposition rates.
Is coal a material resource?
Yes, coal is a material resource.
Is coal a form of rock?
Yes, coal is a sedimentary rock formed from plant material that has been compressed and heated over millions of years.
In the process of coal formation the first form of true coal is called .?
Peat is the first form of true coal in the process of coal formation. It is a soft, organic material that forms in waterlogged environments through the partial decay of plant matter. Peat is the precursor to lignite, the lowest rank of true coal.
Is coal a raw material?
Yes coal is a raw material. Raw materials are materials as they are found, and unchanged by a process. Coal is mined, but is used in the same form as it is dug up. Nothing needs to be done to the coal to make it useful, other than transporting it.
Where in the Earth's crust did coal form?
Coal formed in ancient swamp environments, where plant material accumulated in oxygen-poor conditions, allowing for its preservation and transformation into coal over millions of years.
What is coal fiber?
Coal fiber is a material derived from coal that has been processed into a fibrous form. It is typically used as a reinforcement material in composite materials, offering properties such as high strength, heat resistance, and chemical inertness. Coal fiber can be a sustainable alternative to traditional reinforcement fibers due to its abundance and cost-effectiveness.
What is the difference between the organic material from which coal forms the organic material from which petroleum and natural gas form?
Coal forms from the accumulation of plant material in swamps and marshes, while petroleum and natural gas form from the remains of marine organisms like algae and zooplankton. The main difference lies in the type of organic material and the environment in which it accumulates, resulting in the formation of different fossil fuels.
Where do materials come from?
Underground or plants E.g oil = raw material from under ground coal = raw material from undergound... cotten = raw material form plants
Approximately how long dose it take coal to form?
Coal typically takes millions of years to form. It is created through the transformation of plant material under high pressure and heat over prolonged periods of time.
