Coal Mines in the Industrial Revolution

Coal mines in the Industrial Revolution were deeper than ever before. Before the 18th century, coal was mined from shallow mines. However, as the Industrial Revolution gained speed, demand for fuel rapidly increased. Before the Industrial Revolution, there were two different types of mines: bell pits and drift mines.

Coal Mining Basics

The majority of coal produced in Illinois comes from from coal seams that lie 200 feet or deeper below the surface. Rooms 20 to 30 wide are cut into the coal bed leaving a series of 100-foot-wide pillars, or columns of coal, to help support the mine roof. As mining advances, a grid-like pattern of rooms and pillars is formed.

What Life Is Like Working in Underground Coal Mines in the US

In the US, coal mining is a shrinking industry. In 1923, there were about 883,000 coal miners; Typically, the deeper a mine goes, the more methane is released, because there's more pressure.
