What is an open cut mining different to an underground mining?
Open cut mining involves removing material from the earth's surface, using large equipment like draglines or excavators. Underground mining involves tunneling underground to access mineral deposits and is typically used when the mineral resource is deep or too dangerous to extract from the surface.
What is mining that involves excavating from the surface?
Open cut mining
What can you do to reduce open cut mining?
put a plaster over the open cut
Is open cut mining safer compared to underground mining?
Yes.
Why is open cut mining safer than under ground mining?
Because there is no roof to support in an open cut whereas in underground mining there may be a very large overburden load leading to very high stresses in the tunnel roof. This may require support and there is the potential for a roof collapse to occur.
What are the uses of a knife?
An electrician's knife has several uses. It is used to cut wires, cables and conductors, and strip them. It also can be used to cut open boxes holding electrical equipment.
Why is underground mining is more dangerous than open-cut mining?
Underground mining is more dangerous than open-cut mining because it involves working in confined spaces with poor ventilation, as well as risks of cave-ins, fires, and explosions. The lack of natural light, unstable ground conditions, and the presence of toxic gases also contribute to the higher level of danger in underground mining compared to open-cut mining.

Is gold found in open cut mining?
I'm not too sure, but good question!
Is onyx open cut mined?
Yes, onyx is typically open cut mined using traditional mining methods where the stone is removed from the earth's surface with heavy machinery.
Why is an open cut mine more cost effective?
An open-cut mine is more cost affective because you don't need as much equipment and explosives that a mine under ground.
Where do you find zinc most common in underground or open cut mines?
Zinc is commonly found in underground mines rather than open cut mines. This is because zinc deposits are often found deeper underground, requiring tunneling to access the ore bodies. Additionally, underground mining methods are typically more cost-effective for extracting zinc compared to open-cut mining.
