Coal was formed by the decomposition of large land plants and trees buried under the Earth about 300 million years ago.
About 300 million years ago, the Earth had dense forests in the low lying wet areas.
Due to natural calamities like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, etc. these forests got buried under the surface of the Earth.
As more soil got deposited on them, they were compressed.
As a result, the temperature also rose as they sank deeper and deeper.
Due to high pressure and temperature and the absence of air, the wood of the buried forest plants and trees slowly got converted into coal.
The slow process by which the dead plants buried under the Earth have become coal is called as carbonisation.
Since coal was formed from the remains of the plants, it is called a fossil fuel.
Coal, which is mainly carbon, on heating produces mainly carbon dioxide gas and a lot of heat energy.

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.

Shifting cultivation is a form of agriculture which involves clearing of a plot of land by cutting of trees and burning them. The ashes are then mixed with the soil and crops are grown. After the land has lost its fertility, it is abandoned. The farmers then move to a new place.
Disadvantages:
Leads to deforestation
Loss of fertility of a particular land
Leads to Soil erosion
Burning of trees – air pollution
Insufficient cultivation of crops for a large population.

- Plastic affects human health.
Toxic chemicals leach out of plastic and are found in the blood and tissue of nearly all of us. Exposure to them is linked to cancers, birth defects, impaired immunity, endocrine disruption and other ailments. - Plastic spoils our groundwater.
There are thousands of landfills in the United States. Buried beneath each one of them, toxic chemicals from plastics drain out and seep into groundwater, flowing downstream into lakes and rivers. - Plastic threatens wildlife.
Wildlife become entangled in plastic, they eat it or mistake it for food and feed it to their young, and it is found littered in even extremely remote areas of the Earth. In our oceans alone, plastic debris outweighs zooplankton by a ratio of 36-to-1. - Plastic piles up in the environment.
Americans discard more than 30 million tons of plastic a year. Only 8 percent gets recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, is burned or becomes litter.

The functions and powers of the tribal chiefs changed considerably under the British rule. They lost much of their administrative power. They were forced to follow the laws made by the British. They had to pay tribute to the British. They were expected to discipline their people on behalf of the British government. However, they were allowed to keep their land titles over a cluster of villages and could rent out lands. Thus, the authority of the tribal chiefs significantly reduced under the colonial rule.
