MINING Equipment List Mining Tools Names Underground Open pit

These rocks can be cut with the mining tools provided by modern technology Soft rocks are also salt potash bauxite In hard rock mines extraction is carried out by drilling and blasting First holes are made with compressed air or hydraulic drills Then holes are inserted into the holes and an explosion is caused to fracture the rock

Blue Sky Science How do rockets get past Earth s atmosphere

Rockets that are launching things into space like satellites or space probes do have to get past the Earth s atmosphere but don t have much trouble doing it Rockets encounter most of the resistance when they re near the Earth s surface The higher up they get the thinner the air gets and the resistance pushing against the rocket gets lower

Mine Tailings Dean Carter Binational Center for Environmental Health

The extraction process is only partially efficient and as a result a percentage of the desired minerals are left behind in the mine tailings The extraction process may also concentrate unwanted minerals in the tailings As a result of the crushing and grinding milling processes the large pieces of rocks are turned into small tailings
