Why do we only find coal in certain regions?
THINK: The environment for the production of coal is more conducive in some areas than in others.
The changing in the level of ground due to earthquakes and the movement of plates causes an uneven distribution of minerals and resources.
RESEARCH: Coal is made up of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur which come from decomposed living things. Many years ago the areas that now possess coal were covered with swampy wetlands that had many living things. Coal is simply stored sunlight.
