• Landscape disturbance- Surface mining disrupts the landscape, as the topsoil and overburden are moved to access the coal. • Acid mine drainage- Since coal is a fossil fuel formed from plant remains, it contains sulfur, which was present in the proteins of the original plants.
view moreA thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power.In most places the turbine is steam-driven.Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator.After it passes through the turbine the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated. This is known as a Rankine cycle.
