Question
in what type of mine would a rock burst most likely happen? (1 point)
○ a large longwall mine
○ an above - ground biomining site using mine waste
○ a strip mine near a water supply
○ an open - pit mine with a large tailing pond
Rock bursts occur due to high stress in underground mining, especially in large underground mines like longwall mines. Above - ground biomining, strip mines, and open - pit mines with tailing ponds are not underground mining setups with the same stress conditions that lead to rock bursts. Longwall mines are large underground operations where the stress on the rock can build up enough to cause rock bursts.
