Area Strip Mining (Courtesy : farm8.staticflickr) This mining method, applied on flat area of land, starts with removing overburden in a pattern of trenches also known as box cut. These trenches run the whole length of the claim. A second cut would be prepared by removing the overburden and stored in the void of the first cut.

Coal mining - Wikipedia

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content and since the 1880s has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa, a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine is called a 'pit ...

Coal mining will lead to roof caving, overburden fracturing, surface subsidence and environmental damage, resulting in groundwater pollution, surface water flow cutoff, vegetation withering and farmland waterlogging [1–10]. Therefore, it is especially important to study the surface subsidence caused by coal mining.

Mountaintop removal mining - Wikipedia

Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), also known as mountaintop mining (MTM), is a form of surface mining at the summit or summit ridge of a mountain. Coal seams are extracted from a mountain by removing the land, or overburden, above the seams.This process is considered to be safer compared to underground mining because the coal seams are accessed from above instead of underground.

Surface coal mining involves: removing parts or all of mountaintops to expose buried seams of coal, and. "interburden" (rock between coal seams). Overburden and interburden are disposed of in adjacent valleys because the broken rock will not all fit back into the mining pit, and disposal alternatives are limited.
