Where does the energy of coal come from?
Coal energy comes from the sun. The coal is fossilized vegetation that grew in the sunshine eons ago. The vegetation took up the solar energy using photosynthesis and chlorophyll to produce green matter
Where does the energy of coal originally come from?
coal is fuel. it can be burned to make heat or energy. the energy is coal was once sunlight energy that plants used. Petroleum and natural gas are also fuels. most scientists think natural gas petroleum form in a way similar to coal. however, they did not begin as plants. they began as small sea organisms. so, crude oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels.
What is a coal holder called?
Coal Bunker, Coal scuttle, Coal hod
What is another name for bituminous coal?
Bituminous coal, or soft coal
Do coal miners mine for coal?
Yes, coal miners work in coal mines to extract coal from the ground. They use heavy equipment to dig tunnels and remove coal from deposits in the earth.
Can the energy in coal be traced to the sun?
Yes, the energy in coal can be traced back to the sun. Coal is formed from the remains of ancient plants that photosynthesized and captured sunlight millions of years ago. Over time, these organic materials were buried, subjected to heat and pressure, and transformed into coal, storing the solar energy initially captured by those plants. Thus, the energy contained in coal is ultimately derived from solar energy.
Explain how coal is a store of solar energy?
Coal is composed of old plant material that was chemically altered over the course of millions of years. The coal contains energy from sunlight that the plants captured and stored via photosynthesis.
In what form do humans use energy that was initially captured from the sun by plants?
Oil, gas, coal, wood and food
Methane found in coal mine called?
Methane found in coal mines is typically referred to as coal mine methane (CMM). It is a byproduct of coal production and can be a safety hazard due to its flammability and potential for explosions. CMM can also be captured and utilized as a valuable energy source.
Why when we burn coal the energy released come originally from the sun?
When coal is burned, the energy released comes originally from the sun because coal is formed from organic matter such as dead plants and trees that captured solar energy through photosynthesis. This stored solar energy in the form of carbon is released when coal is burned, making it a fossil fuel.
What is green coke CBM?
Green = environmentally friendly (non-polluting). Coke = coal that has been heated in the absence of air (contains more energy than the same volume of coal). CBM = coal-bed methane (naturally occurring gas found in coal beds). It is a greenhouse gas if allowed to escape into the atmosphere, but if captured it can be used as a non-polluting fuel - probably to turn the coal into coke.
Why is there no coal on the moon?
There is no coal in the moon because there is no life on the moon. Accordingly, there is no plants or forests on the moon that can the basis for coal formation. Coal is called a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation that grew on earth as long as 400 million years ago. The plants which formed coal captured energy from the sun through photosynthesis to create the compounds that make up plant tissues. The most important element in the plant material is carbon, which gives coal most of its energy.

Why is coal called buried sunshine?
Coal is often referred to as "buried sunshine" because it is formed from the remains of plants and organic materials that captured the energy of the sun through photosynthesis millions of years ago. This process transformed these organic materials into coal through heat and pressure over time, effectively capturing the energy of the sun in a concentrated form.
What is the link between the sun and piece of coal?
s
Explain the orignal source of energy for both coal and wind?
The original source of energy for coal is the sun, which captured through photosynthesis by plants that later formed into coal over millions of years. The original source of energy for wind is the sun as well, as uneven heating of the Earth's surface causes air to move, creating wind.
