Burning Mountain of Coal
People use coal for many things. Old trains burn coal to make steam… that's
how a choo-choo-train works!
煤可以來拿做很多事,像蒸汽火車,需要燃燒煤炭才能動。
Coal is found deep in the earth. It looks like black rocks.

makes the air dirty, and if we breathe the dirty air... it hurts our lungs.

But sometimes people don't burn coal … nature burns coal. Deep under the
ground, coal sometimes catches fire and burns. And, sometimes it burns for a
really long time. 大自然有時候也會自己燃燒煤炭,而且可以燒很久唷。
There is a mountain in Australia... where one natural coal fire has burned
for a crazy long time! This coal fire is inside the mountain, and scientists
say it has burned for more than 6,000 years! The mountain is called…

really long time!
Nobody knows when it will stop burning...沒人知道什麼時候會停止燃燒。But

Burning Mountain is just another amazing thing about our amazing world! A
