Mining extracts valuable minerals or other geological interests from the earth. Coal mining refers to extracting coal from the earth. Since the 1880s, coal has been mined for energy production and is widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries continue to use coal as a fuel source for iron and cement production extraction. Coal mining has seen many developments recently, from workers tunneling, digging, and manually extracting the coal on carts to large open-cut and long-wall mines. Modern mining at this scale requires draglines, trucks, conveyors, hydraulic jacks, and shearers.
