Mining and Using Coal
People usually ask where we get coal from, Millions of years ago the earth used to be
protected by timber and plants. These flora died in swamps, round riverbanks and obtained
protected with soil and mud. As the years passed these dead flowers then converted into coal. To
extract coal it wants to be dug out, coal if found underground and additionally in seams
underground. As flowers die they sink into swamps and get decomposed into peat. Ground
warmness and strain do away with hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen which usually depart carbon.
This is what we comprehend as coal, Coal is labeled with the aid of its carbon content, the
increased the carbon content material the more warmness it offers off when burnt.
