Coal Mine

A coal mine is a facility where coal, a fossil fuel, is extracted from underground or surface deposits. The process involves digging tunnels or open pits to access coal seams, which are layers of coal embedded in Earth's crust. Once accessed, the coal is mined, transported, and processed for use in electricity generation, steel production, and other industries. Coal mining requires careful planning to ensure safety and environmental protection and involves various technologies, from traditional digging to modern machines. It plays a significant role in energy supply but also raises concerns about environmental impact and pollution.
