In an ideal world:
* Deep mines have a small footprint although the treating and processing may leave piles of waste rock which should be covered wih dirt for reforestation. * Open pit mines may be converted to open grassy or forested areas.
Five minerals mined from the Earth are gold, silver, copper, iron ore, and coal.
There are several, the main ones are coal, chalk and stone for building purposes. Many countries have restrictions on open cast mining and there are regulation for repairing the land afterwards.
False. Petroleum and coal are typically extracted from underground sources on land rather than from the continental shelf, which is a submerged extension of a continent. On the continental shelf, oil and gas deposits can be found and extracted.
Erm, no coal isn't a mineral - it is a rock. I wouldn't describe it as being extracted from the bowels of the Earth - it's mined.
Coal deposits are layers of sedimentary rock containing coal, formed from the accumulation of buried plant material over millions of years. These deposits are mined for coal, which is a fossil fuel used for electricity generation and heating. Coal deposits can vary in thickness, quality, and location around the world.
what happens to coal after it is mined? simple it goes to an incinerator to get burnt and it is ready to be used and coal is transported worldwide so the companies can earn money

After coal is mined, it is processed to remove impurities and transported to power plants or industrial facilities for use. At the plants, coal is burned to produce heat, which is used to generate electricity or heat buildings. The leftover ash is typically disposed of in landfills or reutilized in construction materials.
Excavated coal is commonly referred to as "mined coal."
