Describe 3 different kinds of mines?
Coal mine: A type of mine where coal is extracted from underground or open-pit mines to be used as a source of energy. Gold mine: A type of mine where gold ore is extracted and processed to produce gold, often found in underground mines or as open-pit mines. Diamond mine: A type of mine where diamonds are extracted and processed from volcanic pipes or alluvial deposits, with some mines operating underground while others are open-pit mines.
What is the largest open pit mine in the world and we're is it located?
The largest open pit mine in the world is the Bingham Canyon Mine, located near Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. It is one of the largest man-made excavation in the world and has been in operation since 1906.
Is there a difference between a pit and a mine?
Yes, a pit is an open excavation in the ground, while a mine is an underground excavation where minerals, metals, or other valuable materials are extracted. Pits are generally shallower than mines and are often used for extracting materials like sand, gravel, or coal closer to the surface.
Why are open pit mines used more?
There are some things that are difficult to mine via the open pit method. But when it is possible to apply the techniques of the open pit mine to recover rock and minerals, this mining type is good for basically two reasons. One is because it is relatively safer, and the other relates to the scale of the mine. We recover materials from the ground every day, and have done so for thousands of years. The open pit mine presents far fewer hazards than underground mining, and the reasons are fairly obvious. In a shaft or drift, there are many things that can go wrong and cause loss of life and/or equipment. There are far fewer in an "outdoor" mining activity as it is practiced in an open pit. The largest mines in the world are essentially big holes in the ground. These open pit mines use the economy of scale to produce materials, copper being one. The concentrations of copper are not high, so it is essential to move large volumes of ore to recover the metal in a manner that makes it cost effective on the site, and competitive on the world market to do so.
What land form that is most clearly associated with mining is?
A mine pit or open pit mine is a land form most clearly associated with mining. This is a large, deep, and often excavated hole in the ground where minerals or metals are extracted.
The name of three kinds of mines?

Why is an open pit mine generally safer and cheaper to operate then a shaft mine?
well see it all starts with the rock exploded in to the lava and it seprates the time and effort. hope that is the anserr(:
What determines whether an openpit or shaft mine is used?

Which type of mine would be used to remove ore deposits?
Usually a shaft mine would be used, unless the ore deposits were in a "vein", then a open-pit mine would be used.
What was the first open-pit mine in Arizona?
I think it is the Lavendar Pit (copper mine) in Bisbee, AZ.
Why is open pit safer then shaft mine?
it cant collapse in the way shft mines can. As Shaft mines are underground it makes it alot more easier for it to collapse on everyone and they will all die so therefore open pits are much much safer than shaft mins. Thanks
Is a quarry like a mine?
Mine is inside the ground.Quarry is on the ground.It is a open pit mine.

What is a deep hole?
Could be a pit, an abyss, a well, a chasm, a pothole, a shaft, a crater or a mine.
What are two types of mining?
The two types of mining are Open-cast mining and Underground mining. Underground mining is further divided in to Adit mining and Shaft mining.
