Mr. Obama rarely plays with other politicians - though he has played 7 times with Vice President Biden. In a fence-mending gesture, Mr. Obama invited then-House Speaker John Boehner to play on one occasion in June 2011 along with Gov. John Kasich, both Ohio Republicans.
Here are some ways to classify coal (by grouping it with similar types of rocks): Because slag formed from lava-like melted rock, it's sort of like an igneous rock -- but because humans made the melt, it's not a true igneous rock. So, we made up a new classification for slag: We call it a pseudo-igneous rock (pronounced SUE-doe ig-NEE-us).
Carbon from burning coal reacts with air to form carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide and other gases, such as those emitted from automobiles, accumulate in the earth's atmosphere, they form a shield that allows the sun's light and heat in, but doesn't let it out. This condition is called the greenhouse effect.here are two ways to remove coal from the ground: surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining is used when a coal seam is relatively close to the surface, usually within 200 feet. The first step in surface mining is to remove and store the soil and rock covering the coal (called the overburden).
