Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the massive coal deposits near the Transvaal region of South Africa and presents two main theories on their formation. The debate centers on the question of whether the coal deposits formed over a long period of time from plants growing and decaying in place (known as the in-situ theory) or were formed from plant remains that were carried by water and deposited in a sedimentary basin (known as the drift theory). The author explores both theories, presenting evidence from geological surveys of the region and similar coal deposits elsewhere in the world. This book will appeal to professionals in coal mining, geology, and anyone interested in the formation and distribution of one of the Earth's most significant resources.
