Answer 1

Explanation:

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years. Vast deposits of coal originate in former wetlands—called coal forests—that covered much of the Earth's tropical land areas during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times.

• The coal industry has two principal markets , namely thermal coal ( for energy use , including power generation and other applications such as the cement manufacturing sector ) , and metallurgical coal ( principally for steel making ) ; but there are also other coal uses , including conversion into gas or other energy or In Australia coal deposits occur in all States and the Northern Territory and range from 15 million to 225 million years old . Coal is primarily used as a fuel to generate electricity and in Australia is used to produce about 80 % of the nation's electricity requirements .
