What is strip mining?
Strip mining is a type of surface mining where ore or coal is extracted from NEAR the surface of the earth. It involves removing strips of overlying soil and rock to expose the mineral deposit, which is then extracted. This process can have significant environmental impacts, including landscape deformation and soil degradation.
