coal collapse: fossil fuel consisting of carbonized vegetable matter deposited in the Carboniferous period; take in coal; "The big ship coaled"; supply with coal

chokedamp collapse: the atmosphere in a mine following an explosion; high in carbon dioxide and incapable of supporting life

firedamp collapse: a mixture of gases (mostly methane) that form in coal mines and become explosive when mixed with air

peat collapse: partially carbonized vegetable matter saturated with water; can be used as a fuel when dried

octane collapse: any isomeric saturated hydrocarbon found in petroleum and used as a fuel and solvent

miasma collapse: unhealthy vapors rising from the ground or other sources; "the miasma of the marshes"; "a miasma of cigar smoke"; an unwholesome atmosphere; "the novel spun a miasma of death and decay"

gas collapse: the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by: relatively low density and viscosity; relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature; the ability to diffuse readily; and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container; a fluid in the gaseous state having neither independent shape nor volume and being able to expand indefinitely; attack with gas; subject to gas fumes; "The despot gassed the rebellious tribes"

coke collapse: street names for cocaine; carbon fuel produced by distillation of coal; become coke; "petroleum oils coke after distillation"
