<span>Hard Rock mining works when a narrow horizontal vein orebody will be mined by room and pillar or a longwall method whereas a vertical narrow vein orebody will be mined by an open stoping or cut and fill method. However, there are further consideration needed for the strength of the ore as well as the surrounding rock. In addition an orebody hosted in strong self-supporting rock may be mined by an open stoping method while an orebody hosted in poor rock may need to be mined by a cut and fill method were the void is continuosly filled as the ore is removed. </span>

Hard rock mining requires removing ore from other substances such as quartz. Ores have different qualities and impurities depending on how they were formed. Often gold occurs as veins in quartz, which is mined as rocks from within a mine. This requires special machinery and often requires the skills of a geologist

Do any of you have any idea what it’s asking ??
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

It is asking what type of environment was the rock formed in. For example, metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks are formed at different levels of temperature and pressure. To solve the problem start off with trying to identify the type of rock (igneous,metamorphic, sedimentary,etc.) and then figure out what conditions those rocks form in. I hope this helps! Good luck!

The lithosphere is different than the hydrosphere in that the lithosphere has no living things on it and the hydrosphere is comp
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering the planet and the hydrosphere is composed of all the water on the planet

Explanation:

The lithosphere and the hydrosphere have numerous similarities, but also numerous differences. The biggest and most obvious difference between these two spheres of planet Earth is that the lithosphere is solid, rocky crust that covers the planet, while the hydrosphere is and is represented by all of the water on the planet. The crust is mostly made up by the volcanic activity, thus through the lava flows and crystallization of the magma, which have created the rocks, or with other words the crust, the land masses. The hydrosphere is represented by the waters, and it has been created by both water coming from the volcanoes, and from the space objects that have been falling on our planet. The waters are generally divided into two categories, saline and freshwater, with the saline being in much higher amount.
