Is there diamond in a coal mine?

It is possible to find diamonds in coal mines, as diamonds are formed from carbon under high pressure and temperature conditions similar to those found in coal mines. However, finding diamonds in a coal mine is rare, as most diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity.


Why is burning of coal a chemical change?

Burning coal is a chemical change because it involves a reaction between the coal (a hydrocarbon) and oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and carbon dioxide. This reaction results in the formation of new substances, indicating a chemical change.


How do coal power stations operates?

Coal power stations burn coal to heat water, creating steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The electricity is then sent through a transformer to increase the voltage for transmission through power lines. The steam is cooled and condensed back into water to be heated again in a continuous cycle.


Do the diamond comes from coal mining process?

No, diamonds do not come from coal mining. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. They are then brought closer to the surface through volcanic eruptions. Coal is a sedimentary rock formed from plant material over millions of years and does not contain diamonds.


Why is coal a non-renewable energy resource?

Coal is NON-renewable because after we dig it all up and burn it, then it's gone, finished. There is no more. It doesn't renew itself every day.Sunlight, wind power, wave and tidal motion and geothermal power are all renewable, because we can use them all as much as we can today, and they still come back again, renewed tomorrow.Coal was formed over untold millions of years from fossilised plant material, which was mostly covered over by subsequent geological action, and hence preserved. This is not being renewed because these conditions do not now exist. The world was very different then, much warmer and much more plant growth, whereas now we live in an era of ice ages (talking of the last few million years). Obviously if the world's climate changed again this could be repeated, but man will probably be long gone by then.You have to burn COAL to release the energy inside of it and it takes millions of years to form, so we can't just make more.Because it takes thousands of years to create coal.Coal is the product of compression and heating of organic matter under the ground over a long period of time.
