How is Coal formed?How is Coal formed?

Made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur.

Comes from the energy stored by plants Formed by lots of large plants dying and

buried under water and dirt. So heat and pressure turned dead plants into coal.

First plants died a long time ago. Then the plants got buried under water

and dirt. After, heat and pressure turned the dead

plants into coal!

An explosion at a refinery made oil spill in the water in a underground well.

It was very dangerous and it spreaded quickly

Became one of the worst environmental disasters in United States.
