What is the type of mining responsible for sinkholes?
to answer this is a natural depression or hole in the surface topography
What are the cons of surface mining?
The advantages of surface mining are: * It is cheaper to extract the ore or metal than underground mining * Less chance of workers dying from toxic fumes, therefore it is safer unlike underground mining. * It is also faster The disadvantages of surface mining are: * That it destroys the landscape and environment * Effects the habitats of fauna potentially effecting the existing ecosystem in that area * Flora is destroyed * Causes noise, air and water pollution
How does surface mining affect the ground water?
Surface mining can contaminate groundwater through the release of chemicals and heavy metals used in the mining process. Removal of vegetation during mining can also lead to increased sedimentation and erosion, which can affect groundwater quality. Additionally, surface mining can alter the natural hydrological flow, potentially reducing groundwater recharge and increasing the risk of water pollution.
How do surface mining and underground mining differ?
Surface mining occurs close to the surface (less than a mile deep), while underground mining is underground.
what are the 5 different mining?
the 5 types of mining are "sub-surface mining, surface mining, open-pit mining, dredging, and strip mining" please like :)
Two types of mining?
Underground mining surface mining
When was Office of Surface Mining created?
Office of Surface Mining was created in 1977.
A mining process in which rock is stripped away to expose mineral deposits near the surface is?
Strip, surface or open cast mining.
What are some surface mining methods?
Some surface mining methods include open-pit mining, strip mining, mountaintop removal mining, and placer mining. These methods involve removing the overlying material to access the desired mineral deposits near the surface. Surface mining is often used for coal, metals, and other minerals that are located close to the Earth's surface.
What is hydraulic mining?
It's is Surface mining
What is surface mining?
Surface mining is a type of mining method where minerals or ores are extracted from the earth's surface using machinery and equipment. This method is used when the mineral deposits are found close to the surface, making it more cost-effective and efficient compared to underground mining. Surface mining can include open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying.
What is the budget of Office of Surface Mining?
The budget of Office of Surface Mining is 170,000,000 dollars.
