是煤创造了现代社会,而非任何其他物质。但是什么创造了煤?在地球历史上一段持续了6000万年、被地质学家称为石炭纪的时期里,死去的植物似乎不愿腐烂。当树木死亡并倒在当时满是沼泽的地面,它们依然大致保持完好,而不是被腐生菌吞噬。到了一定的时候,更多的树木倒在上面。就这样,越来越多,越来越多。在层层表土的挤压和下方地热的作用下,被掩埋的木头逐渐失去挥发组分,并被转变成一种越来越接近纯 It is coal that creates modern society, but not anything else. But what has created coal? In a period of Earth’s history that lasted 60 million years and was called by the geologists Carboniferous, the dead plants seemed unwilling to decay. When the trees died and fell on the ground full of swamps, they remained largely intact, rather than swallowed by saprophyts. At a certain time, more trees fall on it. In this way, more and more, more and more. Buried wood gradually loses its volatile components as it is squeezed by layers of topsoil and underneath geothermal heat and is transformed into something closer and closer to pure
