Coal may be mined in underground mines, typically by machinery that pulls the coal from the seams, and transports it to the surface. Coal is also mined in surface mines by removing the soil and rock on top of the coal, and then using machinery to break the coal from the seams, and move it to storage.

Lastly, organic materials like timber and certain agricultural products are not available from oceanic sources.
