Coal Fields

Coal fields are large underground areas where coal deposits are found naturally, forming layers of compressed plant material over millions of years. These deposits are often spread across specific regions and can vary in size and quality. Mining companies extract coal from these fields to produce energy, steel, and other materials. The location and extent of a coal field depend on geological conditions, such as ancient swampy areas where plant matter accumulated and was eventually transformed into coal through heat and pressure. Understanding coal fields helps in responsible resource management and energy planning.
