  16.2: Mining, Processing, and Generating Electricity

  Mining Coal is extracted by two principal methods, of which there are many variants: surface mining or subsurface mining. Surface mining uses large machines to remove the soil and layers of rock known as overburden to expose coal seams that are close to the Earth’s surface (figure \ (\PageIndex {a}\)). Strip mining is a type of surface mining in which …
