How does coal create a negative impact to the environment?

Coal creates a negative impact on the environment because it contains sulfur and other harmful elements. When you burn coal these elements are then released into the air. And it can cause air pollution and health dangers as it releases a lot of carbon dioxide. 

The Earth’s outer crust (the lithosphere) is composed of a series of tectonic plates. These plates move on a hot flowing mantle layer called the asthenosphere. Heat within the asthenosphere creates convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move several centimeters per year relative to each other.hope this helps:)
