Surface mining, including strip mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal mining, is a broad category of mining in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit (the overburden) are removed, in contrast to underground mining, in which the overlying rock is left in place, and the mineral is removed through shafts or tunnels.. Surface mining began in the mid-16th century [dubious ...

به خواندن ادامه دهیدMining is the process of extracting useful materials from the earth. Some examples of substances that are mined include coal, gold, or iron ore.Iron ore is the material from which the metal iron is produced. The process of mining dates back to prehistoric times. Prehistoric people first mined flint, which was ideal for tools and weapons since it breaks into shards with sharp edges.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدOpen-pit is one of the most common mining methods used and starts from the earth's surface, maintaining exposure to the surface throughout the extraction period. The excavation usually has stepped sides to ensure the safety of the miners and a wide ramp where equipment can travel, allowing the product to be removed efficiently from the site.

Strip Mining: Ore is removed in parallel strips. Mountaintop Removal: Top of a mountain is blasted to remove deep ore. Dredging: Ore is removed from a river bottom. The main methods of underground mining are:
