· Mining coal Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth Many coal deposits called coal beds or seams are near the earth s surface while others are deep mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation s coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978
· Additionally exploration drilling is used to identify or confirm the location of faults folds dikes sills and other geologic features that may influence how the coal is ultimately mined As mining progresses from the initial exploration phase to the latter stages of exploration and into production a higher level of detail about the site s subsurface is required
