There are several documented cases but this spontaneous condition is incredibly rare.
You can find a more scientific explanation here:

It can. I heard a terrible story: a group of Boy Scouts decided to do a service project and refinished all the woodwork in the church that sponsored their troop. They used mineral spirits-soaked cloths, and left a pile of them in the church. Spontaneous combustion happened and destroyed the church.
Mulch, compost, and decomposition all generate intense heat and a risk of fire. The larger the pile, the more fuel and insulation is available to feed potential combustion. Larger piles also make it more difficult to extinguish a burning mountain of mulch. Mulch that is piled up more than a few inches deep starts to heat up as it decomposes, which can lead to fires starting via spontaneous combustion.
"Yeah, just throw that in the pile with the others" You should rake the leaves into a pile before burning them.I have a pile of dirty laundry to wash.
No, just the cards that are the "rummy" have to get picked up, the play is then continued in the same way,. of drawing from the pile or the discard pile.
It is very simple. Just calculate the perimeter of the pile cap using the pile cap plan and just multiply this perimeter by the depth of the pile cap which can be worked from the sectional drawings or sometimes it is specified in the plan drawings itself. Eventually you get the formworks in sqm.
Yes, the phrase "just as good as a pile of gold" is a metaphor because it suggests that something is as valuable or desirable as a literal pile of gold, conveying the idea of high worth or importance.
i think it does cause coal is made out of rocks that get burned so it does have potential energy
When plant matter or other organic material is stored and is not dry, the pressure on the lower levels of the pile of matter together with the activity of bacteria fostered by the humidity, cause the matter to heat and decompose. This is the principle behind a compost pile which produces soil from such waste matter. Manure can be "cured" into usable soil by the same method. Sometimes, though, this effect can be less beneficial. In a granary full of grain or a hayloft, if the grain or hay is moist, this effect can raise the temperature to a point where, if it is exposed to oxygen, it will burst into flame. Silos, granaries and haylofts can burst into flame as a result unless carefully monitored by the farmer.
It is dirt, just a small pile of dirt by the baseboard...if you sweep it up and place it in the trash can, it will be a small pile of dirt in the trash
The big spotted goat pile doesn't do anything. Sorry, it's just there for decoration! :)
just use the explorer kit you pile of poo
"That pile over there is just junk"
