Question

what is a differnt types of coal and their uses​

Answer 1

Answer:

Peat ,Lignite, Bituminous,Anthracite

Explanation:

Peat is the first step in coal formation. Peat is composed of over 60% organic matter; typically, ferns and vegetation found in swamps or bogs.Lignite is a soft brown coal that still contains a high amount of water. Lignite has a higher heat content than peat but is still not the most desired form of coal. Bituminous coal is formed as more pressure is applied to lignite coal. The greater the pressure applied, the more water is expelled, which increases the amount of pure carbon present and increases the heat content of the coal .Anthracite coal is a metamorphic rock and is considered the highest grade coal. It's hard and dark black in color. It has a very light weight when compared to other forms of coal, as there is very little water present in anthracite.
