Why is coal so deep inside the earth?

Coal is formed from plant matter that gets buried and compressed over millions of years. As layers of sediment build up on top of the plant matter, the increasing pressure and heat cause the organic material to undergo biochemical changes, eventually transforming into coal. Over time, geological processes can bury these layers deeper inside the Earth's crust.


How does weight of a body vary inside the earth?

People are (so far) not able to get very deep inside the Earth, so there is not that much variation, however, the closer you get to the center of the Earth, the less you would weigh. At the exact center you would be weightless.


Are diamonds made from coal?

No, diamonds are not made from coal. While both coal and diamonds are made of carbon, the conditions required to create diamonds are much more intense and happen deep within the Earth's mantle. Coal forms through the decomposition of plant matter over millions of years.


What is a hyperbole for the snow was so deep?

The snow is so deep that it reached the Earth's core. The snow is so deep it was a part of the ocean. The snow was so deep that it was full of gasoline.


Why are caves so dark?

Caves are dark because they are deep underground, away from sources of light. Light from the sun does not penetrate deep into the earth, so once you are inside a cave, there is no natural light source to illuminate it.


Is peat the first stage of coal?

It can be, but not all peat becomes coal, and not all coal began as peat. Peat forms on the Earth's surface, while coal has to form within rock layers deep in the Earth. Coal takes many thousands of years to form. Peat forms more quickly, but only at about 1 mm depth per year. So neither can be considered a renewable form of energy.


How do you you use the word coal in a sentence?

The miners dug deep underground to extract coal from the mine.


What causes magma to form deep inside earth?

Magma forms deep inside the Earth due to the combination of intense heat from the Earth's core and mantle, and pressure from the overlying rock layers. This combination causes rocks to partially melt and form magma, which can then rise towards the surface through volcanic activity.


Would gneiss be more likely to form at shallow depths or at great depths where mountains are pushed up?

No , because it has to be deep inside the earth so it ca be pushed up.


Where do faults occur on earth and why?

Faulting is a type of brittle deformation; rocks crack and then move along those cracks. Deep inside Earth rocks are hotter and softer, so they will deform in a ductile manner, stretching and flowing like taffy.
