Gravel is typically mined from quarries or pits where it is extracted using heavy machinery such as excavators and bulldozers. The process involves removing layers of soil and rock to access the gravel deposits, which are then crushed, screened, and sorted to various sizes for different construction applications. Regulations and permits are required to ensure responsible mining practices and environmental protection.
