Modern mining techniques are highly mechanized. Huge earthmoving equipment scoops up ore materials and places them in giant haulers to be transported to mechanized processing facilities. Computers control much of the operation from start to finish. Explosives are used to break up rock in manageable chunks for extraction. Underground mining is more labor intense due the close quarters environment, but can still be highly mechanized.

What are two negative impacts of mining?
Mining usually tears up large areas of the countryside. A lot of effort goes into recovery of sites, and this costs in terms of dollars, energy and time. Mining, particularly underground mining, is a dangerous business. Many miners are killed or injured every year in accidents (particularly in China). Additionally, mining is conducted to recover ore or aggregates. Processing ore to recover metal takes energy and creates lots of opportunities for pollution. Pollution from the recovery of metal from ore is a serious issue.

Can you describe how mining is done?
Some mining is done by scraping away the soil (dirt) from the top of the ground. This is called strip mining. Some mining is done by going deep underground into a mine shaft. Some mining, such as gold mining, is done in other ways. Gold can be mined by searching in the bed of a river or other stream of water to remove the flakes of gold. This is called panning or placer mining.
