Of course, you must know this from school. How do you think fossil fuels are created? LOL, what we are talking about here is charcoal. (or just a bit further on from that.)
I can show you a picture of carbon in a powder form if you like.:p

Don't all solids become liquids before they become gases when gradually heated?
*edit* A pic of molten carbon would be acceptable.
