Answer to Question 1

Coal mines need stripping operators (scoops the earth away to expose the coal), coal-loading machine operators
(rips the coal from the seam and loads the coal into trucks) and tractor operators (operates the bulldozers). The
coal industry is like any other industry, requiring secretaries, bookkeepers, drivers, purchasers, sales people,
accountants, supervisors, managers at all levels, and a wide array of other support personnel.



Answer to Question 2

paleontologists (who study fossil remains in the earth to locate oil-bearing layers of rock)
 mineralogists (who study the physical and chemical properties of mineral and rock samples)
 stratigraphers (who determine the rock layers most likely to contain oil and natural gas)
 photogeologists (who examine and interpret aerial photographs of land surfaces)
 petrologists (who investigate the history of the formation of the earth's crust)
 other specialists, such as drafters and surveyors (who assist in surveying and mapping operations)
