Longwall mining is a fast and mechanized method of coal mining where a large “wall” of coal is mined with a high-powered cutting system and the coal is transported out of the mine through a network of conveyors. The method is a “caving” method and the surface above the “gob” or mined areas typically subside.
· Longwall mining [ 9, 10 ], for panels of coal, is an exploitation method where an extended wall of coal is mined in a sole slice. The wall or longwall is around 150–300 m long and 1-2 m thick, and the slab of coal that is being mined is around 1000–3500 m long and 150–300 m broad.

· Longwall mining requires removing nearly the entire coal seam underground in long, wide panels that can be 1,400 feet wide and up to three miles long. When equipment that supports the mined area’s ceiling is removed, the ground layers above it sink and “subside,” often dropping up to seven feet from the original levels.
سؤال
The longwall-mining method is a continuous mining system that was developed for mining coal deposits uniform in thickness and slope or where the overburden pressures may crush support pillars or for improving productivity. This method relies on the complete extraction of the coal in a designated area referred to as a panel (of solid coal).
Longwall mining machines are about 800 feet (240 meters) in width and 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters) tall. Longwall miners extract "panels"-rectangular blocks of coal as wide as the mining machinery and as long
· Longwall mining is a form of coal mining underground. In the longwall method, a long wall of coal is found and mined in a single slice between 50 cm and 6 m thick. Longwall panels (the coal seam being mined) tend to be between 3 km and 4 km long but can extend as far as 7.5 km. They are usually between 250 m and 400 m in width.

· Longwall advance mining. There are two methods used to cut a web of coal from the longwall face. The “Bi-Directional” (bi-di) method. The shearer cuts a fresh web of coal each time it traverses up and down the coal face. The “Uni-Directional” (uni-di) method. The shearer cuts a web of coal from one side of the face to the other and then

Longwall Mining. Longwall mining is a deep mining technique which extracts coal in long panels, resulting in layers of rock collapsing into the void left by the removal of the coal seam, which is known as "subsidence."
