The New Cornelia Tailings Dam, located in Arizona, has a height of approximately 120 meters (394 feet). It is part of the mining operations associated with the New Cornelia mine, which was historically significant for copper production. The dam serves to contain tailings produced during the extraction process.
New Cornelia Tailings of Pima County, Arizona is one of the largest mine tailings piles in the world: 7.4 billion cubic feet, the New Cornelia Tailings is often cited as the largest dam structure in the country, by volume (the tailings, waste material from the mining process, were heaped into a pile that created a holding structure for future tailings, some of which were deposited in a pumped slurry, thus the tailings pile is an "impoundment" or dam). The mine that produced the tailings, the 1.5 mile wide open pit New Cornelia Mine, is owned by Phelps Dodge, and is presently in limbo (shut down in 1983). A project to mine the tailings has been proposed. The next in size is the Fort Peck Dam, 21,430 ft (6,531 m) long and 250 ft (76 m) high, on the Missouri River, NE Mont.; one of the world's largest earth-filled dams.
Hoover Dam contains 3,333,459.2 cubic meters of concrete.
67 Dams are equal to 670 Meters. 1 Dam = 10 Meters 67 Dams * 10 Meters = 670 Meters
The symbol for dekameter is "dam". It represents a unit of length equal to 10 meters.
There are exactly 100 dekameters in one meter.Actually, no. There are 10 dekameters in a meter. There are 100 hectometers in a meter.* * * * *Trebordadda, in comments, is absolutely correct. The above is utter nonsense.1 dam = 10 metres.
The New Cornelia Tailings dam in Arizona was constructed in the late 1930s as a part of the mining operations in the area.
The New Cornelia Tailings Dam is cited as one of the world's largest dams. It was not constructed but rather formed from the waste rock (tailings) from the local mine. It was closed in 1983.

The Rogun Dam on Vakhsh river in Tajikistan with 335m height. this dam complete in 1985.
its 175 meters tall sorry i dont know the width...
how many meters are in 1 dam
9 dam is equal to 90 meters. 1 decameter (dam) is equal to 10 meters, so by multiplying 9 dam by 10, we get 90 meters.
