Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock with a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests. Layers of dirt and rock covered …

For more than a century, the coal-mining industry has been a major economic force and employer in the Appalachian region of eastern USA. As national and global energy economies experience rapid change, Appalachian mining is declining in a way that appears permanent. Coal mining, however, has left its mark on the region's lands, waters, and …

In this process, coal is packed into a closed, oxygenrestricted container (retort, or coke oven) and then heated to a high temperature. This process drives off the volatile matter in the coal. The volatile matter contains the parent compounds that are used to produce the products shown in the centerfold.

The carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is most easily studied as two interconnected subcycles: One dealing with rapid carbon exchange among living organisms. One dealing with long-term cycling of carbon through geologic processes. Although we will look at them separately, it's important to realize these cycles are linked.
