Question
With the help of given clues, identify the conventional resource. Occurs between layers of sedimentary rocks. Took millions of years to form. Power generated from these minerals is called thermal power.(a) Firewood (b)Coal(c) Fossil Fuel (d) Petroleum
Solution
The answer is (b) Coal.
Here's the step by step reasoning:
-
The first clue is that it occurs between layers of sedimentary rocks. Both coal and petroleum can be found in such locations, so we can't eliminate any options yet.
-
The second clue is that it took millions of years to form. This is true for coal, fossil fuels, and petroleum. Firewood doesn't fit this clue because it can grow in a matter of decades, so we can eliminate option (a).
-
The third clue is that power generated from these minerals is called thermal power. This is a key clue because thermal power is typically generated from coal. While it's true that fossil fuels and petroleum can be used to generate power, it's not typically referred to as thermal power.
Therefore, based on these clues, the answer is (b) Coal.
