Study Notes
Coal Formation and Characteristics
- The process of conversion of dead vegetation into coal is called coalification.
Fossil Fuels
- Fossil fuels are formed from the dead remains of living organisms.
Coal Burning
- When coal burns in air, carbon dioxide is mainly produced.
Coal Processing
- Useful products such as coal tar, coal gas, and coke are obtained by processing coal in the industry.
Natural Resources
- Solar energy, wind energy, and hydro energy are examples of inexhaustible natural resources.
- Air, water, and soil can be exhausted by human activities.
Classification of Resources
- Coal and petroleum are classified as exhaustible natural resources.
- Forests, wildlife, minerals, coal, and petroleum are classified as exhaustible natural resources because they can be depleted by human activities.
Exhaustible vs. Inexhaustible Resources
- The main characteristic that distinguishes inexhaustible natural resources from exhaustible natural resources is the ability to replenish itself naturally.
