What method is used to obtain the mineral deposit located just below the surface of the ground?
It's called 'open cast' mining. Usually bulldozers are used to remove the topsoil, so that the diggers can get at the product to be mined. Once the supply is used up, the topsoil is normally replaced, removing all trace that mining took place.
What is a rock like deposit of animal skeletons just below the ocean surface?
an rock like deposit of animal skeleton just below the ocean surface is a scavenger.
How do you get coal out of the ground?
Coal is extracted from the ground through mining methods such as surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing the top layers of soil and rock to access the coal seams, while underground mining involves tunnels and shafts to access coal deposits deep below the surface. Once extracted, the coal is processed and transported for various industrial uses.
What is the removal of the surface of and area to obtain the nonrenewable resources below?
strip mining Also known as open-cast mining (UK).

How do we remove ore from the earth?
The general term we use for the recovery of the raw materials from which we recover minerals or win metal is mining. To find out more about mining, use the link below to the related question "How is mining done?"
Is gold mining open-pit or underground?
Gold mining can be both open-pit and underground. Open-pit mining involves digging a large pit to extract ore, while underground mining involves tunnels and shafts to access ore deposits below the surface. The choice between the two methods depends on factors such as the depth of the ore body and economic considerations.
How is Coal captured?
Coal is captured through the process of mining, either through surface mining or underground mining methods. In surface mining, machinery is used to remove layers of earth and extract the coal below. In underground mining, tunnels and shafts are created to access the coal seams. Once extracted, the coal is processed and transported for various uses.
What is deep mining?
Deep mining involves extracting minerals and resources from deep underground deposits, typically several thousand feet below the Earth's surface. This method requires extensive digging and drilling to reach the desired resources. Deep mining poses significant challenges regarding safety, ventilation, and ground stability.
What are two types of coal mining?
Surface mining is used to produce most of the coal because it is less expensive than underground mining. Surface mining can be used when the coal is buried less than 200 feet underground.In surface mining, giant machines remove the top soil and layers of rock known as "overburden" to expose the coal seam. Once the mining is finished, the dirt and rock are returned to the pit, the topsoil is replaced, and the area is replanted.Underground mining, sometimes called deep mining, is used when the coal is buried several hundred feet below the surface. Some underground mines are 1,000 feet deep. To remove coal in these underground mines, miners ride elevators down deep mine shafts where they run machines that dig out the coal.
What the difference between above and below ground mining?
Above-ground mining involves extracting resources from the Earth's surface, while underground mining involves extracting resources from below the Earth's surface by digging tunnels and shafts. Above-ground mining is typically used for shallow deposits and involves environmental impacts such as habitat disruption, while underground mining is used for deeper deposits and can pose safety hazards for workers due to confined spaces and potential cave-ins.
Why is an Antarctica treaty needed?
To refrain world powers from spoiling the 100% lakes below Antarctica's ice and to stop them from mining the on and below Antarctica's land surface. In short: Refrain world powers from mining the **** out of it.
