A place where rocks are mined is called a quarry or a mine. These locations are where rocks and minerals are extracted from the Earth's surface or underground for various purposes such as construction, manufacturing, and landscaping.
Some common rocks mined in Georgia include granite, marble, and kaolin. Granite is used for construction materials, marble is used for building facades and countertops, and kaolin is a type of clay used in the production of paper, porcelain, and ceramics.
Rocks in quarries are typically mined using drilling and blasting techniques to break up the rock into smaller pieces. Once the rocks are loosened, heavy machinery such as excavators and dump trucks are used to remove and transport the material for processing. Finally, the rocks are crushed, screened, and sorted for various applications.
Hornblende is a mineral commonly found in metamorphic and igneous rocks and is not mined directly. If hornblende-bearing rocks are mined for other minerals, the hornblende may be extracted during the processing of the ore. Hornblende itself does not have any industrial uses that require specific mining processes.
Augite is commonly found in igneous rocks such as basalt and gabbro. Mining for augite specifically is not common due to its presence in these types of rocks. It is typically extracted as a by-product during the mining of other minerals like copper, nickel, and platinum.
No, rock is not a renewable resource because it takes millions of years for rocks to form through geological processes. Once rocks are mined or extracted, they cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime.
ores are rocks that are mined
Yes.

They are called ores.
Ores mined from shields...
No. Rocks just lie there. Cars in the most basic sense are made of rocks and crude oil. Rocks are mined for metal that are in them. Oil is made into plastic.
Rocks are mined in a quarry by blasting or drilling to break up the rock into manageable pieces. Heavy machinery such as excavators and dump trucks are then used to extract the rocks from the quarry. The rocks are crushed and processed for various uses in construction or manufacturing.
It's a metamorphic rock since it was formed from intense heat or pressure. Also because it was mined and sedimentary rocks have little pebbles. Lastly because igneous rocks can't be mined unless they were already on Earth's surface.
