1. 1

    A coalfield is a stretch of land with coal under the ground — often a lot of it, in layers, over a wide area. Towns grew on coalfields because people could mine there. You will meet the word in geography, history, and talk about old industrial regions. Walking across a coalfield you may see grass, roads, and houses, not black rock: the coal is below. It is not a farmer's field with coal sitting on top.
