As more pressure is applied the peat becomes lignite, or brown coal. Later, as more heat and pressure are applied, the lignite forms into the useful forms of coal beginning with sub-bituminous coal, then forming into bituminous coal, anthracite coal, and finally graphite (a pure carbon mineral).

Formation The vegetable origin of coal is supported by the presence in coal of carbonized fibers, stems, leaves, and seeds of plants, which can be detected with the naked eye in the softer varieties and with the microscope in harder coal. Sometimes carbonized tree stumps have been found standing in layers of coal.

The four stages in coal formation are peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite. Each of these stages must be completed for coal to form. Stage one in coal production is peat. Peat is a fibrous substance that is oxidized by water and carbon dioxide. When a plant dies, and stays under water, it builds up an accumulation of peat.

Types of fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. In this activity we are focusing on the coal. Coal is a natural resource that forms with geological steps over millions of years. The first step of coal formation is the formation of what is called the peat, which is formed by decomposition of organisms.

Coal (from the Old English term col, which has meant "mineral of fossilized carbon" since the 13th century)is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams.The harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure.
