What are the steps in the formation of coal?
Steps in formation of coal 1. Dead organic matter forms peat. 2. Peat is compressed and water is forced out. 3. Pressure compresses the material into "soft" coal. 4. Higher temperatures and pressure form "hard" coal.
What is a soft brown coal called?
Lignite!
What is a formation of coal?
Millions of years ago, large areas of the Earth's land area were covered in dense peat swamps. Over time, the peat in the swamps was buried, and forced deep underground. Extreme pressure and heat eventually turned the peat into soft coal, and later some if that became hard coal also as a result of heat and pressure.
Soft brown coal made from peat?

Did animals and plants form bituminous coal?
Bituminous coal is largely the product of ancient plant remains, although some animals would have contributed to a very small percentage of its mass.
What is lignite used for?
Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft brown fuel with characteristics that put it somewhere between coal and peat. It is often burned in power stations constructed very close to any mines.
What is the most common type of coal?
Peat is sometimes considered a type of coal-so surely it must be seen as the most common. There is a lot of bituminous ("soft") coal. Anthracite ("hard") coal, which produces less air pollution, is less common.
