What are the differences between the types of coal?
Bituminous coal is soft and burns hotter and longer. Anthracite coal is harder than Bituminous coal and is not preferred for heating.
What is another name for bituminous coal?
Another name for bituminous coal is soft coal.
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 with less moisture called?
A soft brown coal with less moisture is called bituminous coal.
How are bituminous coal and anthracite coal alike?
Bituminous coal is relatively soft and dull, as opposed to anthracite which is hard and shiny. Anthracite is also much more dense and pure. Because of its purity (can be up to 98% carbon), Anthracite burns a very hot, smokeless flame.
A type of fossil fuel that is in the form of a soft rock and easily burns?
coal

Is coal native to Pennsylvania?
Yes, bituminous coal is soft coal which burns hot and was suitable for coal furnaces in homes and factories. Bituminous coal is found in the geological Pittsburgh Coal Field, which extends across many states, like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Anthracite coal is harder coal. It burns less hot. It is found in mines in eastern Pennsylvania.
What is bitumin?
Bituminous, by itself, means containing bitumen or tar. It is sometimes used to identify a grade of soft coal coal (Bituminous coal) This is a higher grade than lignite (stony) coal which has a lower heating value and produces more ash, but a poorer grade than anthrecite which burns hotter and with less smoke.

Is lignite coal?
Yes, but very poor grade. Types of coal by grade:Anthracite - hard coal, almost pure carbon, burns very cleanBituminous - soft coal, contains bitumen a tar like material, burns smokyLignite - very soft coal, often contains unfossilized plant materialPeat - cut from peat bogs, must be dried first to remove waterBituminous coal is often "coked" by roasting in coking oven to make coke, which is of similar grade to natural Anthracite coal. The bitumen vapors driven off make an excellent illuminating gas or fuel for stationary internal combustion engines.

What is bituminous coal?
Bituminous coal is a soft mineral.
What is the texture of coal?
The texture of coal is a 'hard, shiny, black rock. However, the 'hardness' and the 'shininess' can vary depending on the impurities present. However, it is always black. The texture of coal can vary from Peat, )A black wet earth) coal in its early stages of formation. (Burns/combusts with a lot of smoke) Then Lignite ; a soft black rock, with no wetness. ( burns/combusts with less smoke). Then coal as described above ( burns/combusts with a hot bright flame, dependent on the amount of oxygen draught present). Finally Anthracite ; hard and shiny ( Sometimes known as 'Black Diamond'( burns/combusts with a hot bright bluish flame, dependent on the amount of oxygen draught present).,
