Humans use coal for two primary purposes: as a fuel source (primarily to power steam generators in electricity production, though it is common as a cooking stove fuel in parts of the developing world), and as a reduction agent in the iron ore smelting/forging process.

Coal is composed of mostly complex hydrocarbons and about 10 % other constituents. Primarily, carbon, roughly 80%, moisture, hydrogen (hydrocarbons), nitrogen, sulfur compounds (about 1-2%), and ash (minerals and metals). Coal is combusted (burned or rapidly oxidized in the presence of heat and excess air), to generate steam used to operate engines, and other equipment and machines, most of which generate electricity.

Is coal and oil being formed faster than humans are using it?
Really and truly, coal and oil aren't being created fast enough for human use. Coal is most likely not to be used that often; since not everyone is burning coal, we have plenty of it. Oil is a different story. Since we use oil, sometimes in our daily lives, it has to be produced more often the coal, because me use it so much!
What natural resources are used by humans from grassland areas?

Have humans caused an imbalance in the carbon cycle?
Mainly by: Our unbridled use of fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - the use of which shows no sign of diminishing.
