Question

In coal-fixed power plants, coal is burned to produce steam, which is then used to turn a turbine.

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

In a coal-fixed power station, coal is burnt to heat up water which then turns into steam. This steam is then channelled to turbines that are connected to generators. When the steam makes the turbine turn, electricity is produced by the generators.

These are the main type of plants used in the developing world to create electricity however they cause a lot of pollution, particularly of air.
