some pros are: easier extraction, costs less, the mechanichal advantage, the safer working conditions, and the cosumer benifits. some cons are the poulution
It is less expensive and the operation can remove all ore with no need to leave anything for structural reasons.
1.Depth:strip mining is done for <60 m while open pit is done for>60 to near about 120 m. 2.Design:Strip mining is done maintaining spoil & piles system while open pit has a specific mining structure to follow. 3.Environment:strip mining is normally done for dry area while for open pit mining we have to lower the ground water level.

Yes. Ancient man began doing it and open pit mining continues today.
no.
Uranium mining can be either by open pit mining or by underground mining.
Open pit mining is used when the materials being mined are closer to the surface. It is safer to do open pit mining than it is to do underground mining. Underground mining is only used for mining hard minerals.
Strip Mining.
