Why do miners use dynamite?

Miners use dynamite to break up rock and ore in the mining process. Dynamite provides a controlled and efficient way to blast away material, making it easier and more cost-effective to extract valuable minerals.


Why don't miners use the convection current method?

Miners don't use convection currents because underground mining operations involve working in confined spaces that lack proper ventilation for natural convection to occur. Additionally, convection currents are not reliable or controllable enough to ensure efficient mining operations through rock removal. Instead, miners rely on engineered ventilation systems to provide a safe and controlled environment for workers.


What can you use to pick up coins?

Why do miners use light?

Because there is no light in an underground mine- you have to use artificial lights, such as a miner's cap lamp. It allows you to see what you are doing, but have your hands free to work. They have atificial lighting in the marjority of mines strung to the roof (the top of the tunnel) however, at the "face" (working areas) there is very little light from these as there is no light reflected then a head lamp is used as it shines directly in the dircetly the minors head is facing.
