China alone produces roughly one-third of the world economy’s coal. This is largely due to the industrial revolution that has been taking place in China over the past decade which requires a very high energy demand‚ but being on top of the world production of coal has come with a colossal price.

There is even speculation among scientist that the mining of Lion Cave could probably date back even further to 70-110‚000 years (Weisgerber‚ G.‚ & Pernicka‚ E. 1995). Mining is still one of the most prevalent industries throughout the world with there being over 14‚000 mines in the United States alone (Mining 2014)

are two main categories that mines fall into; surface mines and underground mines. Surface mines are effective at extracting minerals and geological materials that are close to the surface of the earth while underground mines are designed to extract minerals and geological materials that are deep beneath the surface of the earth. One of the most common materials that are extracted from the earth by mining is coal. Worldwide there are approximately 24‚000 active coal mines. Mining is an important economic

Mine Mastermind The Confederates were tired. They needed an idea. Rains had a plan. He said he would use mines like he did before when fighting Indians in the Seminole War. Apart from being a General‚ Gabriel Rains was also an inventor. He invented the keg torpedo‚ land mine‚ grenade‚ and many others. These weapons caused much controversy‚ because some thought they were barbarous and unfair. Others thought they were necessary to win the war because the newfangled ironclads were beginning

completely dry mines or aquifers. This is not the case as dewatering is a state where the inflow to the mine is reduced by removing water that is in storage in the dolomites. When the compartment is dewatered the mine still experiences a continuous inflow‚ often very significant‚ with inflow rate equal to the recharge rate. Dewatering is achieved when Pumping rate = Recharge rate Thus even when a compartment is dewatered‚ substantial volumes of water must be pumped from the mines.
