- 21.Put the following in the correct order:1. ____ BITUMINOUS COAL - Layers of rock form over the lignite, increasing the weight and pressure. The lignite changes to bituminous coal. 2. _____ PEAT - Layers of sand and soil cover the plant matter. Over time the plant matter forms peat. Peat is a hard, brown plant material. Peat is the first step in the formation of coal.3. _____ ANTHRACITE: Extreme heat and pressure cause the bituminous coal to change to anthracite or hard coal. Anthracite is as hard as rock 4. ______ LIGNITE - Over millions of years, layers of rock form over the peat. The weight of these layers changes the peat to lignite.
