What is Coal Mining?
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal, a fossil fuel, from the Earth to be used primarily as a source of energy.

Coal Mining Activities
Coal mining includes several key steps:

• Extracting coal from surface mines (like strip mining) or underground mines
• Transporting coal to processing plants or power stations
• Managing environmental impact and mine safety
  

Types of Coal Mining

• Surface Mining: Removing layers of soil and rock to access coal seams near the surface
• Underground Mining: Creating tunnels to extract coal from deep underground

Coal remains an important energy source worldwide, used for:

• Electricity generation
• Steel production
• Industrial processes
