Coal is formed plantlife buried in earth. Millions years ago carbon- based fossil fuel remains of vegetation that grew as long ago as 400 million years. When trees die in swarmy areas, accumulating layers upon layers, soggy dense material called peat. Sedimentary rocks were formed, pressure caused by the weight squeezed water from the peat. Increasing deeper burial and the heat associated with it gradually changed the material into coal.

Which element in the coal is oxidised to form carbon dioxide?
Carbon in coal is oxidized to form carbon dioxide when coal undergoes combustion.
What is a form of soft and brownish coloured coal?
Lignite is a form of soft, brownish-colored coal that is often referred to as brown coal. It is one of the lower-ranked types of coal in terms of carbon content and energy output.
Is lignite a form of coal?
Yes. Lignite is also known as brown coal. It is not exactly the same as coal (bituminous or anthracite) but it is near the beginning of the process that makes coal. Lignite has about 1/3 to 1/2 the carbon content of coal.
How is a anthracite coal formed?
Anthracite coal is formed by the further metamorphism of bituminous coal. This process involves high pressures and temperatures, which leads to the coal becoming harder and more carbon-rich. Anthracite coal is the highest rank of coal and has a high carbon content and low impurities.
