Plant material that accumulates and hardens on the floor of a swamp is
Semenov [28]

Answer:

F Anthracite (the hardest coal)

Explanation:

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is formed from plant materials. These plant materials must have been trapped and compacted in an environment where they are not able decay. Such an environment is a swamp.

The first grade of coal that forms initially in such an environment is called PEAT. Peat is soft coal that still contains some plant materials. It has a high moisture content and the amount of carbon is still quite low.

With increasing pressure and compaction, PEAT grades into LIGNITE which has more carbon atoms in it. Lignite is more combustible although it is quite soft too. Lignite grades into SUB-BITUMINOUS coal and then BITUMIOUS coal.

The highest grade of coal is ANTHRACITE which is a hard coal. It has very little moisture content and rich carbon percentage in it. Anthracite yields more energy compared to other forms of coal. Anthracite is basically coal that forms at the greastest pressure. Beyond this pressure, a metamorphic transformation occurs and the coals changes to graphite.

Based on increasing pressure:

PEAT< LIGNITE< BITUMINOUS COAL < ANTHRACITE

PLEASE HELP ME!!
Annette [7]
As continential plate has a lower density, when the oceanic plate and continetial plate collide the denses oceanic plate will be subducted under the less dense continential plate.

As mentioned in the question, although continential plate is thicker, the continental crust undergoes heating and cooling cycles that lower it’s density, while the oceanic plate was thinner but denser.

Therefore when they collide, the denser plate will slide under the less dense plate due to the convection current of magma.

While features like the ocean trench and volcanoes will be formed due to subduction and the accumulation of continential crust.

Hope it helps!
