Coal- a nonrenewable resource

Coal is a nonrenewable resource that is a solid compound of the remains of swamp plants. Coal can be used for many different things such as heating buildings and producing electricity. Coal is formed when plants near a swamp soak in heat energy from the sun and when they die and fall in the water. When they get buried and sit there from millions of years the plants get so pressureized where they release that heat from the sun to change chemically and physically. Once the coal gets extracted from the ground the coal is burned to create hot steam. This hot steam turns a turbine which powers the electric generator to the transformer to create electricity. 2 advantages are that coal is very abundant
