Question

how is anthracite coal found in jammu &kashmir as kashmir is a snowy region and there is lot of moisture present in the air?

Answer 1

The transformation of plant material into coal takes place in two stages, biochemical degradation and physico-chemical degradation.Biochemical degradation involves chemical decomposition of botanical matter assisted by organisms. In cooler climates the growth rate of vegetation may be cyclical in nature and slower. The conditions are less ideal for fungi and bacteria so the slower rate of biochemical degradation. Physico-chemical coalification which follows is caused by conditions of burial (ie. heat and pressure). The overburden which is deposited, the heat flows in the earth’s crust and tectonic heat and pressure change the chemistry and structure of the altered organic material. The same conditions are applied to all the coal macerals.  Water is squeezed out and pore size is reduced as pressure increases and oxygen and hydrogen are released during thermal cracking. Water and carbon dioxide are the first products released.  When rank reaches medium volatile bituminous coal demethanation begins. 
The rank of a coal refers to the degree of coalification endured by the organic matter. It is estimated by measuring the moisture content, specific energy, reflectance of vitrinite or volatile matter. 
The pressure from rocks makes anthracite which can even change into diamond.
