What category is coal in?
Coal is classified as a fossil fuel, which is a category of energy resources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years. It is primarily composed of carbon, along with various other elements, and is used mainly for electricity generation and industrial processes. As a non-renewable resource, coal is often associated with significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions.
Which fossil fuel produces the most energy when burned?
Coal releases more carbon dioxide than oil.Oil releases more than natural gas.A:We burn more coal (a little over four billion tons per year) than any other. Oil (over 3 billion tons) comes in a close second. A:Coal, then oil, then natural gas (methane).
Where did the energy in non renewable resources come from?
Non renewable energy sources include mainly coal, oil and gas. Materials (Plants, animals) were buried in earth in mass in the form of forests, reef (algae). These upon action of pressure of the top soil deposited over them and due to the heat were converted into oil, gas or coal. The energy stored in these forms of resources are basically those contained in those buried materials.
What is an advatage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
coal power can be generated at night
Why is coal a fossil fuel-?
it is made from once living things when the pangea on the earth moved away
Give one advantage of coal rather than biomass as a fuel?
One advantage of coal over biomass as a fuel is its higher energy density. Coal contains more energy per unit of weight or volume compared to biomass, making it more efficient for generating electricity or heat.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What is an advantage of nuclear power plants over coal power plant?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
Do you make coal out of fire?
No. Coal is carbon which has been compressed over thousands of years underground. The coal can then be used as a fuel.
How did they discovered coal?
Coal was likely first discovered through natural exposure, such as erosion revealing coal deposits on the Earth's surface. Early civilizations may have stumbled upon coal while digging for other resources like metals. Over time, the value of coal as a fuel source became apparent through its combustion properties and energy-generating capabilities.
What is an advantage of solar energy over coal?
It does not release pollution such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
What is a fuel formed over millions of years?
Coal, Natural Gas and Oil
Why are gasious fuels are more advantage over solid fuel?
gaseous fuel is loosely paged
Why isn't uranium a fossil fuel?
It isn't from fossils, Oil and coal are from ancient fossils that changed into coal and oil over time
What is the fossil fuel found in sedimantary rock?
Could be oil in shale or it could be coal.
Can coal be turned in to fossil fuel?
it already is coal is fossilised wood
What is the dark solid fossil fuel?
Coal is the dark solid fossil fuel that is formed from ancient plant material that has been subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years.
