How is coal obtained from the environment?
coal is dug up from the ground and processed to make fuel.
How deep down is a bituminous coal mine vertical shaft?
There are 2 kinds of coal mine shafts-- slope or dug horizontally then down, or a vertical shaft dug nearly straight down. Some coal mines use both--a wide tunnel dug as a slope, then down. However, in the 1800s, they often crawled into a slope mine.Depth of either type, and for either bituminous coal or anthracite coal, can be 1,000 to 2,000 feet underground. Most mines also have labyrinths of tunnels throughout, which can go to different depths.
Undisturbed rock layers?
layers in the earth's crust that have been dug up. like paleontologists can not receive valid information if they found a dig that had already been dug up
Is coal expensive to extract and mine?
It depends on the method of extraction. In pit mining, vertical shafts are dug to reach the coal seams, then excavated horizontally. The shafts and passageways need to be shored up or held in place to prevent collapse while the miners extract the coal. In open-cast mining, the surface is simply scraped away by huge excavators, and the coal loaded onto large trucks or long conveyor-belts for processing. Open-cast mining is cheaper - but requires more work to landscape the mining area once the coal is exhausted.
How are fossil fuels dug up?
with machiens that detect fossil fuels and then dig them up
What materials get dug up?
Various materials are dug up during excavation, depending on the specific project. Common materials include soil, rocks, clay, sand, gravel, and sometimes archaeological artifacts. In construction projects, materials like asphalt, concrete, and pipelines may also be excavated.
How is coal obtained from the environment?

What is the exploration of coal?

How did coal become coal?

What is a coal mine?
A coal mine is a place where coal is dug out of the earth. Some mines are completely underground and depend on tunnels to take miners to the coal. Other places, known as strip mines, are open pits in the ground where the coal is dug out.
What did the miner do?
they dug for coal or gold or dimonds
Why are coal and oil black?
They are both black because both of them are dug up from the ground and they are now in the present time used as resources for people who live closer to where they were dug up, which is mostly in the west and south near the deserts
What fuels are identified as fossil fuels?
coal is the main fossil fuel on earth that is found under the earth and dug up.
Can coal be dug out of the ground in water?
It depends were you are harvesting it. Usually, no.
Is coal a raw material?
Yes coal is a raw material. Raw materials are materials as they are found, and unchanged by a process. Coal is mined, but is used in the same form as it is dug up. Nothing needs to be done to the coal to make it useful, other than transporting it.
Where is coal dug?
Coal is primarily dug from underground mines. These mines are typically located in coal-rich regions and are accessed by tunnels and shafts. Surface mining methods, such as strip mining or mountaintop removal, may also be used in areas where the coal seam is close to the surface.
