What is the word for a mass of some mineral in the rock or in the ground?
The word you are looking for is "vein." A vein is a deposit or mass of a particular mineral embedded within a rock or the Earth's surface.
What is a mass of some mineral in rock or in the ground?
deposit
What is dug into the ground in subsurface mining?
In subsurface mining, tunnels or shafts are dug into the ground to access mineral deposits located deep underground. Miners use various methods, such as drilling and blasting, to extract ores and minerals from beneath the surface.
What is the mineral deposit that is large and pure enough to be mined?
For a mineral deposit to be large enough to mine, it must be able to produce enough of whatever is being mined to offset, with a profit, the cost of extracting, transporting, crushing, processing, and finally refining. A deposit does not have to be large to be economically feasible. A single yard of material in an outcrop of rock that will yield 1/2 oz or more of Gold is well worth busting out of the ground, If you have knowledge of how to process it, or know of some smelter operation, or refiner that will buy it, or process it for a percentage of the gold recovered.
When melted rock cools or hardens in or under earth surface it forms to what?
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.

Where is the earth's surface located?
Earth's surface is located in the troposphere. You will find it at ground level.

What is mineral deposit?
A mineral deposit is a concentration of minerals in the Earth's crust that is economically viable to extract. These deposits can be formed by a variety of geological processes, such as hydrothermal activity, sedimentation, or magmatic activity. Mineral deposits are the primary sources of metals, ores, and gemstones that are extracted for use in various industries.
Is the process of removing an ore deposit from the ground known as prospecting?
No, the process of removing an ore deposit from the ground is known as mining. Prospecting is the initial stage of exploration where geologists search for potential ore deposits by examining surface rocks and taking samples.
What is a natural resources in Hawaii?
Hawaii has no mineral deposit natural resources. Its natural resources include climate, soil, vegetation, and ground water as well as products from the ocean.
How minerals mined?
Depends on what the mineral is, and where it is located. Some are mined by conventional surface mining with power shovels, some are mined in underground mines, and some are mined by drilling a shaft, and pumping a solvent (maybe water) into the ground- the mineral is dissolved in the solvent, and pumped back up again. It is then extracted from the solvent.
How does the amount of fresh water located on the surface compare to the amount of ground water?
The same percent
What layer of the atmosphere is most of the ozone located?
stratosphere 0 to 10km above ground surface
How do you care for a desert rose?
A "Desert Rose" is not a living organism, it is a formation of gypsum crystals that form in desert regions where there are mineral(salt) rich ground waters evaporating near the ground surface.
What is a mass of minerals in rock or in the ground?
deposit
