| Types of coal | Peat, Lignite, Bituminous, Anthracite |

| Type of coal that is a soft brown coal that still contains a high amount of water, has a higher heat content than peat but is still not the most desired form of coal. However, it makes up almost half of our known coal reserves. | Lignite |
| Type of coal that is formed as more pressure is applied to lignite coal. The greater the pressure applied, the more water is expelled, which increases the amount of pure carbon present and increases the heat content of the coal. | Bituminous |
