A Bell pit is a type of mining technique used primarily for extracting coal. It involves digging a vertical shaft down to the coal seam, creating a bell-shaped cavity as miners extract coal from the sides. Once the coal is removed, the pit can collapse, but this method allows for access to deeper coal deposits. The design helps manage the stability of the surrounding soil and can minimize surface disruption.
