Is coal a living thing or a non living thing?
Coal is not a living thing. It is produced by a biological and geological process that takes many years, beginning with dead plant matter being converted to peat. That peat then becomes converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, then bituminous coal, and then anthracite. The natural coal that is found in the US was formed about 325 million years ago.
What is the difference betwween a biological wax and a mineral wax?
Biological waxes are typically esters of fatty acids and long chain alcohols. Mineral waxes are typically long-chain hydrocarbons lacking functional groups. Biological waxes are produced from plant material or derived from animal products - mostly bees and wool (lanolin). Mineral wax is from minerals or rocks and typically from petroleum (paraffin) or coal or polyethylene.
What is a biological law?

Why wouldn't coal and coral be considered minerals?

Have stones ever lived?
Certain rocks have a biological origin, like coal and chalk. In these cases, the rock represents a once living biomass.
Is the greenhouse effect biological?
No, it is primarily physical. Biological events 300 to 100 million years ago pulled carbon from the atmosphere and locked it up at the bottom of vast swamps, which formed our modern coal and oil deposits. But the burning of that coal and oil is not considered a biological effect. The excess CO2 in our atmosphere is not of biological origin in that sense. Some excess methane gas, however, IS from direct biological sources.
