The plants and animals that we burn today for coal and oil primarily originated during the Carboniferous period, which lasted from about 359 to 299 million years ago. This era was characterized by dense forests of giant ferns, horsetails, and clubmosses, as well as abundant marine life. The remains of these ancient organisms were buried and subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years, transforming them into fossil fuels like coal and oil.
What else can I help you with?
How does coal relate to plants?
Coal is a type of fossil fuel, and fossil fuels are made out of dead plants and animals.
Should coal be considered a type of biomass?
No, coal is not considered a type of biomass. Biomass refers to organic materials like plants and animals that can be used as a renewable energy source. Coal, on the other hand, is a non-renewable fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have undergone chemical and physical changes over time.
What energy is made by rotting plants and animals material?
coal
How do power plants release the energy in coal?
They burn it. It's the heat and expanding gases from the coal being burned which provides the energy.
Coal is a solid natarully occurring substance coal formsthe remains of plants and animals?
yes yes it does.
Does coke have coal in it?
Yes it is made of coal which is an organic rock which is made of old/dead plants and animals
Why is coal energy non renewable?
Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form from the remains of plants and animals. Once it is extracted and burned to generate energy, it cannot be replaced within a human lifetime.
Fossil fuel formed over millions of years from plants?
Coal i think --------- Yes, it is true for coal, petroleum, methane - from dead plants and animals.
What are non-renewable flammable materials made from plants and animals?
Coal
Is coal still used today?
Yes, coal is very much still in use. Many power plants burn cola to produce electricity, particularly in under developed countries with growing economies. China is one of the largest users right now.
How is coal connected to the sun?
Coal is made from the decayed body parts of animals and plants so after a couple of days the particles from the plants and animals will start to be covered by leaves from trees and other things and for coal to be formed you must have heat and pressure and after a couple of years the decayed particles with the heat and pressure it will eventually form into coal and also plants get energy from the sun and animals get energy from the plants so that's how coal is related to the sun
Which Southeastern state resource do many power plants burn to run their generators?
pulp,wood,coal or paper?!?!?
