The layers of coal are called peat, lignite, subbituminous, bituminous caol, and anthracite. Peat being the most inexpensive and anthracite being the most valuable. Most coal in use is bituminous.
Another answer: A layer of coal in a mine is called a coal seam.
A piece of coal typically consists of multiple layers called beds or seams. These layers are formed over millions of years from the accumulation of compressed plant material. The number of layers can vary depending on the specific geological conditions of the coal deposit.
By digging big holes (called coal mines) in the ground and separating the coal, rock, and soil in the material dug from those holes. Coal usually comes in layers (called seams) between layers of other sedimentary rocks.

small pieces of coal are called slack. Thank you!
Coal forms when dead plant material builds up and up to form peat.2. This is compacted between layers of sedimentary rock, forming a rock called lignite.3. Then this is compacted even more. Then, heat and pressure deep deep beneath the surface create anthracite, or coal.4. Coal is a metamorphic rock.

Coal deposits are commonly referred to as coal seams or coal beds. These are layers of coal that are found buried beneath the Earth's surface.

No, seams refer to layers of coal that have formed over time within the Earth's crust. These seams can vary in thickness and are important for mining operations.

If the layer is of dead plants, it is a compressed layer known as a coal seam.
The rock is called sedimentary rock. The process of turning dead plants into coal through pressure and heat is known as coalification.
Layers of sediments compressed the layers of vegetation to form the coal deposits.
