Coal Production

Industrial Revolution: This was a period from 1760 to 1840 when major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and transport had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions. It's like when you discovered how much faster you could bake cookies using an electric mixer instead of by hand.

Fossil Fuels: These are natural fuels such as coal or gas that were formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. They're like your cookie ingredients - without them, you can't make your cookies (or produce energy).

Carbon Footprint: This is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly or indirectly by human activities. It's like if you measured how many crumbs fell on the floor while making your cookies - it's an impact that results from your activity.
