peat

veen word gedefinieer as "'n los bruin materiaal wat hoofsaaklik bestaan uit gedeeltelik ontbinde plantmateriaal wat op nat plekke (soos vleie, moerasse of moerasse) ophoop en vir brandstof en kunsmis verbrand word." Turf word oor baie jare gevorm aangesien dooie plantmateriaal in versuipte toestande ophoop, sonder om ten volle te ontbind as gevolg van die gebrek aan suurstof. Dit word algemeen gebruik as 'n bron van brandstof vir verhitting en elektrisiteitsopwekking in sommige lande.
