Stone quarries are places where large amounts of stone are extracted from the earth. These stones, such as granite, limestone, and marble, are used in construction, landscaping, and various other applications. Workers use heavy machinery to cut and remove the stone blocks, which are then transported to different locations for processing and use. The process of quarrying involves several steps, including site selection, extraction, and finishing. After the stone is removed, it may be shaped and polished for specific uses, such as in buildings or monuments. Famous structures, like the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge, were built using stones sourced from quarries.
