Coal Energy Kids: Energy Information Administration (EIA)

Coal takes millions of years to form. Coal is a combustible black or brownishblack sedimentary rock with a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.
