Quarrying is the process of extracting rocks, minerals, or other geological materials from the earth. This activity typically takes place in open-pit mines, where large amounts of earth are removed to access valuable resources like granite, limestone, and marble. These materials are often used in construction, road building, and various industrial applications. The quarrying process involves several steps, including site preparation, drilling, blasting, and transporting the extracted materials. Safety measures are essential to protect workers and the environment. After the quarrying is complete, the site may be rehabilitated to restore the landscape or repurpose the area for other uses.
