How do you get coal out of the ground or from the seabed?

Coal is typically extracted from the ground through mining methods such as underground mining or surface mining. In underground mining, tunnels are dug to reach coal seams deep underground, while surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits near the surface. Seabed coal extraction is a relatively new and experimental process that involves using specialized equipment to mine coal deposits on the ocean floor.


What are 4 different types of mining?

Surface mining: extracting minerals or ores from the surface of the Earth. Underground mining: extracting minerals or ores from beneath the Earth's surface. Placer mining: extracting minerals or ores from rivers, streams, or other sediment deposits. Submarine mining: extracting minerals or ores from the seabed.


Explain why undersea mining has been largely unsuccessful to date?

Undersea mining has been largely unsuccessful due to technical challenges such as extreme water pressure, harsh underwater conditions, and lack of efficient technology for extracting minerals from the seabed. Additionally, there are concerns about environmental impact, regulatory challenges, and complex legal issues related to deep-sea mining. These factors have collectively hindered the development and success of undersea mining ventures.


Is there quicksand on the seabed?

No, quicksand typically forms on land where water saturates the soil, causing it to become unstable. Quicksand does not typically occur on the seabed, as the dynamics of sediment and water are different in aquatic environments.
