Definition(s)

  • Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel, though its global distribution is highly uneven, and it powered the Industrial Revolution. Readily combustible and solid, it is formed in ecosystems where plant matter has been preserved by water and mud from oxidation and biodegradation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Coal]
