cause that's what It does, coal naturally burns in one fuel source so that's what makes it up to be burning in a coal stock, once the coal is burned it creates heat energy which is naturally a nonrenewable resource once it is actually burned.

When coal is stored in a coal stockpile, it can start to self-heat due to the presence of oxygen. If the coal temperatures rise high enough, it can reach a point where it ignites and burns. This process is known as spontaneous combustion.
Coal can burn at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1300 degrees Celsius (1112 to 2372 degrees Fahrenheit) depending on the type of coal and the conditions of combustion.
When coal is burned without oxygen, it undergoes a process called pyrolysis where it decomposes into volatile gases, tar, and char. This can produce useful byproducts such as charcoal and coal gas, which can be used in various industrial processes.
Yes, coal is flammable. It can be ignited and burn if exposed to sufficient heat and oxygen.
No, coal cannot burn on its own. It requires a heat source, such as a match or lighter, to ignite and start burning.
Coal can burn at temperatures up to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The maximum temperature is influenced by factors such as the type of coal, the amount of oxygen available for combustion, and the efficiency of the burning process.
