Description:
Abstract:
The shapefile MongoliaCoalAreasBasinsProvinces represents polygon locations of coal areas, coal basins, and coal provinces in Mongolia from figure 2 of Erdenetsogt and others (2009). The shapefile format can be viewed using ArcGIS or any software package that supports this data format.
Purpose:
The shapefile is intended for use in a GIS project to display the locations of coal areas, basins, and provincess in Mongolia.
