What can peat become if compressed long enough?
this is the order from peat to coal, peat-lignite-bituminous-anthracite- the higher up the the types, the higher BTU burn you well get, as well as a cleaner burn, but it takes more energy to get it started.

How is coal created and where does coal it come from?
coal is created by the deposition and compaction of huge plant(organic) material deposited into a basin,with the increasing depth the high rank of coal is formed. The order is:- peat>lignite>bituminous>anthracite Peat is formed at shallow depth and on moving downward anthracite is formed at greater depth.
What are the four stages of formation?
The materials formed at each step of the process are 1) Peat 2) Lignite 3) Sub-Bituminous and Bituminous Coal 4) Anthracite (may also form from oil) The final stage, which most coal does not reach, is graphite or pure carbon.
