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

zvonat [6]

Answer:

1. Interstellar cloud  is an accumulation of dust and gas in between stars .

2 . The outer planets are composed of  low density gas .

3 . Meteorites is the most important source for determining the age of our Solar System .

Explanation:

1 . Interstellar cloud

It is formed by the accumulation of plasma , gas and dust in the galaxy .

An interstellar clouds are more sense than the interstellar medium .

The cloud are classified according the size , density and temperature of the cloud . The interstellar cloud is formed by dust and gas particles from a red giant .

2 . The composition of the outer planets are from , the low density gases.

3 . Meteorites -

A meteorites originates from the outer space , and is a solid piece of debris . it can pass through the surface of a moon or planet , and due to high pressure and chemical interactions , can make the meteorite burn , and hence is seen as a shooting star or falling star.

Imagine that you are a member of a team of scientists who are drilling into a large crater approximately 200 km wide. The crater
yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

The team will obviously known that they have reach the crater because during impact the rock would have ungergone contact melting of the rock. However, the rock maybe composed of angular fragments in a matrix that may be similar or a different material underneath the crater. Suppose the scientist drilling further down the surface, there will be presence of little or no impact. But inside the crater there will be fragments of broken rocks. They will observe the shocked minerals and the drill will eventually located the undisturbed sequence of rocks at the crater floor.
