Drilling and blasting takes place at different underground levels of the mine at the same time. As the blasted rock‚ muck‚ is continuously transported to the ore pass‚ more blasting will encourage the roof to cave in to the void and further into the drift. This is repeated until blasting‚ caving and transporting depletes the entire orebody. 2. Modern day Sublevel caving - The sublevel caving technique‚ as the method is applied today‚ the whole quantity of ore between the different sublevels is broken

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a very large population size. The larger the population‚ the less likely it is for genetic drift to occur. Genetic drift is a chance fluctuation in the gene pool that may change the frequencies of alleles. A large population can better represent the gene pool of the previous generation than a small one. In order to completely eliminate all chances of genetic drift‚ a population would have to be infinitely large. Thus‚ we can see here that perfect Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium‚ which
