Yes, primarily surface mining of basalt rock to make crushed stone (for concrete, asphalt paving, and termite barriers) as well as mining of lava rock for landscaping. There is no coal, metal, or major mineral mining in Hawaii.

What are the four different types of mining?

The four main types of mining are surface mining, underground mining, placer mining, and in-situ mining. Surface mining involves removing soil and rock to access minerals, while underground mining involves tunnels and shafts to access deposits.

How is mining in Hawaii?

Hawaii is a volcanic island and was put there due to volcanoes. They haven't really been there long enough to allow anything in them to be mined. There is no real resource in the island because it is only a few million years old. Therefore nothing is really mined there but you would find a nice large amount of Granite covering the island.
