The use of coal creates pollution in the air
and the problem with mining is it can cave and its depleting the Natural Resources of coal but also damaging the ecosystem underneath
Hopes This helps XD

What are the two methods used for mining coal?
The two methods used for mining coal are surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits near the surface, while underground mining involves tunneling underground to extract coal from deeper deposits.
What are two ways to mine coal?
Coal is mined by two methods: surface or 'opencast' mining or underground or 'deep' mining.The choice of mining method largely depends on the geology of the coal deposit. Underground mining currently accounts for a bigger share of world coal production than opencast; although in several important coal producing countries surface mining is more common.
What are two of the ways coal is mined?
Coal is typically mined using two methods: surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining, which includes strip mining and mountaintop removal, involves removing the topsoil and rock layers to reach the coal seam. Underground mining involves digging shafts and tunnels to access coal seams deep underground.
What two names for the process by which soil and rock are stripped from the Earths surface to expose underlying coal?
The two names for this process are surface mining or strip mining. Surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits beneath the surface. Strip mining specifically refers to the method of removing layers in strips to expose coal seams.
How can you minimize the effects of coal mining?
Two areas of coal mining result in health and environmental damage:a) Risk to minersb) Risk of mining activities to environmentThe related links show why mining is considered the second most dangerous profession in the US. Respiratory problems and accidents caused by mine cave ins are considered the highest risk. To lessen the danger, use of respirators and better construction of cells (cribbing) is needed.The most environmentally damaging mining activity is open pit mining, where there is high risk of air pollution and through land removal, alteration of the ecosystem. Through the permitting process, it is possible that restrictions can be placed on mines to lessen the damage.See related linksIn the UK coal mining has been known to cause industrial injuries such as industrial deafness, vibration white finger and black lung disease. These are caused from vibrating power tools and coal dust inhalation. The risks to health of coal mining have been made by improving ventilation and breathing apparatus and improving the machinery used to mine the coal. To see the types of disease mining can cause and how workers can claim compensation in the UK see the related link entitled "miners injury compensation"

How was coal removed from the earth?
Coal is removed from the earth through a process called mining. There are two main methods of coal mining: surface mining and underground mining. In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and rock layers to access the coal deposits, while in underground mining, tunnels are dug deep into the earth to reach the coal seams.

What are coal mining act regulations?
Two of the regulations for coal mining include:1. The wastes from coal use must be disposed in secure landfill sites.2. The building in which the coal is processed, must have a ventilation system.

What are the two methods used to mine coal out of the ground so that you can use it to make electricity?
The two methods used to mine coal are surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing topsoil and rock layers to access coal deposits near the surface, while underground mining involves tunneling deep beneath the ground to extract coal deposits.
What are two process by which soil and rock are stripped from the earths surface to expose underlying coal?
Two processes are surface mining, which involves removing soil and rock to access coal deposits near the surface, and mountaintop removal mining, where entire mountaintops are blasted off to access coal seams underneath. Both processes have significant environmental impacts and can lead to habitat destruction, water pollution, and air pollution.
What is two major Queensland industries?
Two significant employers of Queenslanders are coal mining and tourism.
