The government used US supplied land mines to protect bases and installations against insurgent attack. The insurgents (FMLN) used mostly home made land mines to deny the Army access to there operational areas. Generally, the goverment's use of land mines was much better controlled than the insurgent's. As the Army became more effective with US training and support, the insurgents used land mines to attack the military.
Mines were the scourge of the Vietnam War. It seemed like everyone and everything was hitting them. Grunts where stepping on "bouncing Bettys", tanks were running over Soviet supplied anti-tank mines, and the US Navy's Swift Boats were getting blasted out of the rivers by floating mines. Land mines, riverine mines, and booby traps (un-conventional type and/or placement) were the bane of the Vietnam war. Once you or your tank hit one, "you got mined."
The torpedoes of the US Civil War were water mines that were designed to explode when a Union ship happened to hit one of them. Later, the Confederates developed mines that could be set off from a river shore via a electric wire.

In the prairie provinces of Canada, primarily Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the most common types of mines include coal mines, potash mines, and uranium mines. Coal mining is significant in Alberta, while Saskatchewan is known for its rich deposits of potash, a key ingredient in fertilizers. Additionally, uranium mining is prominent in northern Saskatchewan, making it one of the world's leading producers of this resource. Other minerals, like gravel and sand, are also extracted for construction purposes.

The symbol K for potassium comes from its Latin name "kalium." This element was originally called "potash" because it was derived from the ashes of burned wood, which were obtained from potash mines. The symbol K was later derived from the Latin word "kalium" to avoid any ambiguity.
