What resources are needed for mining on Saturn?
Forget it. Saturn is in a deep pit of gravity.
What are th two methods of extraction metals from the ore?
Mining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining (above ground) and subsurface (underground) mining. sometimes subsurface mining is also called deep mining like in my text book p.s i am in 8th grade
What is surface mining?
Surface mining is removing soil and taking out minerals found fairly close to the earth's surface.
How is surface and underground mining different?
Surface mining is used where the ore or material to be extracted is located fairly close to the surface. The overlying ground cover is removed, the material is mined, and the ground cover is ordinarily replaced. Subsurface mining is used where the material is in veins deep beneath the surface, or obstructed (by rock layers, water tables, or other strata) in a way that make surface access impractical. Early mines used existing caves, but technology has brought increasingly deep and complex drilling to reach veins of coal or metal ores.Surface MiningSafer and easier than subsurface mining.Does more damage to the surface ecosystems than subsurfaceCreates more of a mess than subsurface or open cut mining.Subsurface MiningNot as much widespread damage to ecosystemsDifficult and expensive to digVery dangerous conditions can include collapses, released gases, particulates in the air, low oxygen, and heat
How do you say mining as a noun?
You just said it! "Mining" can be both a noun and a verb, depending on how it is used. When it is used as a noun, it is called a "gerund"-- a verbal noun. To use it as a noun: Mining is a popular occupation for people in West Virginia. "Mining" can also be a verb, the participle of "to mine" -- The men were mining gold in California during the Gold Rush.
What is deep mining used for?
it is used for minning deep! ha ha
What mining method is used to extract ore from beneath the earths surface?
Deep shaft mining, open-cast mining & adit mining.
Which type of mining would be used extract a vein of ore from deep underground?
Shaft mining.
Which type of mining would be used to extract a vein of ore from deep underground?
Shaft mining.
Slope mining is used for deeply buried mineral deposite?
No, if the minerals are deep, slope mining is not possible.
What is deep lead mining?
Deep lead mining is a form of underground mining. Deep leads are old riverbeds that have become buried.
What is deep mining?
Deep mining of any kind is done in tunnels leading off a vertical shaft into the ground, as opposed to 'open pit' or 'strip' mining. Deep mining is principally done for copper.
What is it called when you remove ore deep within the earth?
That is called deep mining.
What is deep leads?
Deep lead mining is a form of underground mining. Deep leads are old riverbeds that have become buried.
What type of mining would most likely be used if a resource is concentrated in deep pockets in ground that is safe for tunneling?
Open Pit Mining
What technologies are used in mining?
There are some technological methods that are used in mining are:Open-cast mining : Open-cast mining is done when a mineral is located very close to the surface. In the open-cast mining, different minerals are taken out by removing the surface layer. Open-cast mining is famous for coal mining in India and many other countries.Shaft mining : The word 'shaft' refers to deep bores. In the shaft mining, deep bores are created to reach mineral deposits. This is because, these deposits lie at great depths. Petroleum and natural gas are extracted by shaft mining.
Why is open mining cheaper than deep mining?
it is cheaper because for deep mining ,the more deeper the minerals lies, the more difficult it is to discover and the more expensive to mine
