When did the coal deposits of the eastern united States begin to form?
commmpical bias
When did the us form coal?
The formation of coal in the United States occurred during the Carboniferous Period, approximately 360 to 300 million years ago. This was a time when extensive swamp forests existed, and the decomposition of plant matter in these environments led to the formation of coal deposits over millions of years.
The main use of coal in the US today is?
electricity generation and Coal might form in peat bogs or swamps where vegetation accumulates under anaerobic conditions
When did the first form of government begin to govern the United states.?
March of 1781(:
When did your first form of government begin to govern the US?

How were coal deposits formed in western Canada during mesozoic era?
Layers of sediments compressed the layers of vegetation to form the coal deposits.
Where is coal begin to form from?
Coal is formed from plants, which turned into peat, then lignite, then coal.
Is there a sentence using the word 'eon'?
Fossils, coal deposits, petroleum deposits, all of them took immense eons to form.
When did coal begin to form?
Then days ago
When did coal beds form?
Coal beds formed during the Carboniferous Period, approximately 300 to 360 million years ago. This period was characterized by extensive forests being buried and compressed over time, eventually transforming into coal deposits.
What era did swamps form and coal begin to develop?
I believe it was during the Permian and Pennsylvanian eras.
Which best explains how coal deposits formed?
Coal deposits form over a long period of time through biological and geological process. Dead plant matter is converted into peat, which is converted into lignite. Lignite is converted into sub-bituminous coal, after that bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite.
Why is burning coal not sustainable?
No new coal deposits are currently under formation. One possible explanation for this is the evolution of a fungus responsible for digesting cellulose. Another is that coal formation is an extremely slow and gradual process, occurring over hundreds of thousands of years. The rate at which we are burning coal vastly exceeds the rate at which any new deposits could possibly form. Therefore the activity is not sustainable. However, we do have sufficient coal deposits to continue burning this resource at present rates of consumption for centuries to come. The wisdom of doing this, however, in light of the increasing abundance of resultant heat trapping carbon dioxide, remains highly questionable.
Why is coal a fossil fuel-?
it is made from once living things when the pangea on the earth moved away
How does coal form and what is it made from?
Coal is formed from buried vegetation over 300 million years ago. The material formed is called peat. the earth structure changes and deposits of sand and other material are dropped on the peat, putting a lot of pressure and temperature on the material squeezing out water from the material which then gives yield to coal.
What are 3 places carbon is stored?
Coal and oil are one useful form of fossil carbon. Another is limestone. Chalk deposits are also formed by calcium carbonate concretions of marine calcareous coccolithophores.
