Without rocks and minerals, our lives would be dramatically different. Almost everything you use every day from food to appliances, from transportation to communications, is available only because we have learned how to mine and process rocks and minerals to obtain their valuable, hidden resources. This poster provides lots of information to help you understand the role that rocks and minerals play in our lives. If we couldn't mine, process and use mineral resources, most of the items around us that we depend on for food, shelter and clothing would not exist. This poster illustrates how coal is formed, mined, transported and used.
