Millions of years ago, huge coniferous (not to be confused with carnivorous, they're probably all extinct now) trees and massive ferns died and fell into tropical swamps and got covered by a lot of mud and sand and grit and silt and general dirt. The plants stored energy from the sun which they took in when they were alive (called photosynthesis), and was preserved when it turned into coal. Over more millions of years (phew, what a lot of millions of years!) the silt and stuff turned into rock, and all the plants (you know, trees and ferns we were talking about earlier) became coal.
Coal is a type of organic sedimentary rock formed from dead plants.
The origin of diamonds is rock, specifically kimberlite and lamproite volcanic rocks that form deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal is a completely different type of sedimentary rock formed from plant material.
Anthracite coal is a type of metamorphic rock that is formed from the compression of plant material over millions of years. It has a high carbon content and a lustrous appearance, making it a valuable source of energy.
Coal rock refers to a type of sedimentary rock that is rich in carbon and formed from the remains of plant material that has been subject to high pressure and heat over millions of years. It is a major source of energy and is commonly used in power generation and steel production due to its high carbon content.
Coal forms from the remains of plants that have been buried in Earth's crust for millions of years. Over time, heat and pressure from the layers of rock above it compress the plant material, forming coal. This process of transformation from plant material to coal is part of the rock cycle, as coal is a type of sedimentary rock.
Yes, coal is considered a type of rock. It is a sedimentary rock formed from the remains of plants that have been compressed and heated over millions of years.
Coal is a sedimentary rock that forms from the remains of plants that have been buried and compressed over millions of years.
No, lignite is not an igneous rock. Lignite is a type of coal formed from compressed peat. Igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten magma or lava.
Biosedimentary Rock. Eg Coal.
Coal is a type of organic sedimentary rock formed from dead plants.
Coal is a type of sedimentary rock known as a combustible sedimentary rock. It is formed from the remains of plants that have been compacted and altered over millions of years under heat and pressure.
this would be organic sedimentary
The rock you are referring to is anthracite coal. It is a type of coal that is very dense, high in carbon, and burns with a clean, hot flame. Anthracite coal is formed from the metamorphism of sedimentary rock, such as bituminous coal, over millions of years.
The rock you are referring to is anthracite coal, which is a type of metamorphic rock formed from coal with a high carbon content. Anthracite coal burns with a high heat and produces little smoke due to its high carbon content and low volatile matter.
Rocks formed from ancient plants are called coal. Coal is a sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation and compression of plant material over millions of years.
The origin of diamonds is rock, specifically kimberlite and lamproite volcanic rocks that form deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal is a completely different type of sedimentary rock formed from plant material.
