Coal mining will not last for long because coal is becoming scarce.
Because humans discovered that it was a real useful fuel.
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.
Coal is obtained through mining. It is typically found underground in coal mines and can be extracted through surface mining or underground mining methods. The process of coal mining involves the removal of coal from the earth's crust for various industrial purposes such as electricity generation and steel production.
Mining in some form is conducted in every state of the US, and in most of the world (with the exception of Antarctica). Mining locations will be determined by the location of the material to be mined- coal mines are located where there is coal, gold mines where there is gold, etc.
