What method is used to obtain the mineral deposit located just below the surface of the ground?
It's called 'open cast' mining. Usually bulldozers are used to remove the topsoil, so that the diggers can get at the product to be mined. Once the supply is used up, the topsoil is normally replaced, removing all trace that mining took place.

What is the effect of strip mining?
Strip mining is used to recover valuable ores and coal which are located at or slightly below the surface. The overburden (soil, gravel, rock, or other material) covering the deposit is removed to allow for access to the desired material. Once the material is removed, the land is reclaimed by replacing the overburden, and replanting native vegetation.
What are two types of coal mining?
Surface mining is used to produce most of the coal because it is less expensive than underground mining. Surface mining can be used when the coal is buried less than 200 feet underground.In surface mining, giant machines remove the top soil and layers of rock known as "overburden" to expose the coal seam. Once the mining is finished, the dirt and rock are returned to the pit, the topsoil is replaced, and the area is replanted.Underground mining, sometimes called deep mining, is used when the coal is buried several hundred feet below the surface. Some underground mines are 1,000 feet deep. To remove coal in these underground mines, miners ride elevators down deep mine shafts where they run machines that dig out the coal.
What are the enviromental impacts of mining gemstones?
