In some cases, the toxic gases can KILL the miners. Also, the coal can give the miners lung cancer; like smoking. Research a bit more on miners, if I were you.

Do miners mine above ground?

Yes, when they do this it is called surface mining.


How do miners dig?

mining iron ore starts with drilling 60-foot holes in a drill pattern and filling the holes with explosives. Once the ore is blasted out, trucks collect the rock.


Why might surface mining be less risky for miners than underground mining?

Surface mining is often less risky for miners than underground mining because it is conducted in open pits or quarries, reducing the risk of cave-ins or tunnel collapses. Surface mining typically involves less exposure to hazardous gases and chemicals that are common in underground mines. Additionally, surface mining operations are generally more mechanized, reducing the need for as much manual labor in potentially dangerous conditions.


When might miners chose to use open pit mining rather than strip mining to obtain ore?

Miners might choose to use open pit mining when the ore is found near the surface and forms a wide area, making it more cost-effective to extract using this method. Open pit mining is also preferred when the ore body is not very deep, minimizing the need for extensive excavation.


How does underground mining work?

Underground mining involves digging shafts and tunnels to access mineral deposits buried deep in the ground. Miners use specialized equipment to extract the ore, which is then brought to the surface for processing. Support systems are in place to ensure the safety of miners and to prevent collapses in the underground mine workings.

Did the miners live with their families?

In the early days of mining, many miners lived away from their families, often in temporary camps or mining towns. However, as mining communities developed, some miners moved their families to these areas, leading to the establishment of more permanent settlements. The presence of families often brought stability to mining towns, but conditions could still be harsh and challenging for both miners and their families.
