Question

drag each description to the correct mining type. each description will be used only once. (2 points) underground mining open - pit mining placer mining strip mining the collection of ores and minerals close to the earths surface, removing narrow portions of the surface at a time. the removal of minerals from alluvial deposits and stream beds. the drilling deep into the earth to collect ores and minerals the collection of ores and minerals close to the earths surface, removing large portions of the surface at a time.

Explanation:

1. For the description "The collection of ores and minerals close to the Earth's surface, removing narrow portions of the surface at a time" - this matches Strip Mining as strip mining removes narrow strips of the surface.
2. For the description "The removal of minerals from alluvial deposits and stream beds" - this is Placer Mining as placer mining is about extracting minerals from such deposits.
3. For the description "The drilling deep into the Earth to collect ores and minerals" - this is Underground Mining as it involves going deep underground.
4. For the description "The collection of ores and minerals close to the Earth's surface, removing large portions of the surface at a time" - this is Open - Pit Mining as open - pit mining removes large areas of the surface.

Answer:

• Underground Mining: The drilling deep into the Earth to collect ores and minerals
• Open - Pit Mining: The collection of ores and minerals close to the Earth's surface, removing large portions of the surface at a time
• Placer Mining: The removal of minerals from alluvial deposits and stream beds
• Strip Mining: The collection of ores and minerals close to the Earth's surface, removing narrow portions of the surface at a time
