What are the advantages and disadvantages of subsurface mining?

Disadvantages: Surface mining is very dangerous. Advantages: Subsurface mining is safer Subsurface mining is cheaper, Subsurface mining is faster 60% of the mining in the US is Subsurface mining.

Subsurface mining is less disruptive to the environment that strip mining, however the danger to the miners is greater

i don't know the types of subsurface mining, but i know some facts. surface mining is safer and easier than subsurface mining. You don't have much air underground. It has no or very little advantages compared to surface mining.

advantages to mining potash

Surface mining is safer and easier than subsurface mining. Surface mining does more damage to the environment than subsurface. Surface mining creates more of a mess then subsurface or open cut mining. ON TH OTHER HAND- Subsurface mining is very dangerous. Subsurface mining allows you to retreive minerals from underground. Subsurface mining requires you to go underground, where you will have very little air.

Advantages: we get bauxite which we can export and built the economy. Disadvantages: persons homes and lands are destroyed for mining

what are the disadvantages of bauxite mining

Advantages: Surface mining is safer Surface mining is cheaper, Surface mining is faster Disadvantages: Destroys the landscape Destroys natural habitat

Subsurface mining, is the extraction of ores and minerals, which lie underground.

when you do subsurface mining it causes earth quakes and tsunamis

subsurface is less harmful

Surface Mining easier than subsurface mining does more damage to environment creates more of a mess Subsurface Mining it is very dangerous you retrieve minerals from underground you have very little air underground

The types of mining are shaft mining, strip mining, surface mining, and subsurface mining.

I have no idea I'm trying to figure that out to

Advantages to the mining industry in general are that it can add jobs and money to the nearby economy. Some disadvantages are that the work is dangerous, and it is depleting the earthâ??s natural resources.
