A coal mine is typically referred to as a coal mine.
Yes, coal miners work in coal mines to extract coal from the ground. They use heavy equipment to dig tunnels and remove coal from deposits in the earth.
Coal was originally formed from ancient plants and organic matter that were compressed and heated over millions of years. This process resulted in the formation of coal seams that we now mine for energy production.
Advantage: Coal is abundant and relatively cheap to mine and use for energy production. Disadvantage: Burning coal releases harmful pollutants into the air, contributing to air pollution and climate change.
A sinker in a coal mine is a worker responsible for drilling holes for explosives to break up rocks or coal seams. They use heavy machinery to create these holes in the mine walls or ceilings to facilitate mining operations.

The world's largest coal mine currently (based on production) is the Black Thunder Mine in Northeast Wyoming. Black Thunder Mine is owned by Thunder Basin Coal Company, which is a subsidiary of Arch Coal Western Resources. 2009 Production was 73.6 million short tons at the Black Thunder Facility, down from 86 million in 2008. In late 2009, Thunder Basin Coal Company purchased the adjoining Jacobs Ranch Mine from Rio Tinto Energy America, and combined the two facilities. Jacobs Ranch Mine produced 38.7 million short tons in 2009, and the projected tonnage for 2010 for the new combined Black Thunder Mine is 120 million short tons. The second largest coal mine in the world is the neighboring North Antelope Rochelle Mine, owned by Powder River Coal Company, which in 2009 produced 98.6 million short tons. Projected production for 2010 for NARM is 100 million short tons. Northeastern Wyoming produces more coal than any other region in the world.
