Detailed Solution

Coal is a fossil mineral.
It is the most abundantly available fossil fuel in India. It fulfils a vital part of the nation’s needs as it is used for generating power to supply energy to industries and domestic needs. As coal is formed due to the compression of plant material over millions of years, it is found in different forms depending on the depth and time of burial as well as the degrees of compression. Lignite, bituminous and anthracite are some of the different forms of coal. In India, coal is formed in rock series of two main geological ages: Gondwana (over 200 million years old) and tertiary deposits (55 million years old).
