Answer:

the process or industry of obtaining minerals from a mine.

Explanation:

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized commodity that is of economic interest to the miner.

Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. Mining is required to obtain any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or feasibly created artificially in a laboratory or factory. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum, natural gas, or even water.

Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials, and final reclamation of the land after the mine is closed.

Mining operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the mining activity and after the mine has closed. Hence, most of the world's nations have passed regulations to decrease the impact. Work safety has long been a concern as well, and modern practices have significantly improved safety in mines.

Based on the events of the 1940s, what can you infer about the Allies' evaluation of German military strength at the start of Wo
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Allies saw the German military strength as powerful, but not innovative, thinking they would mirror the war of 1914.

Explanation:

During the first phase of the war, the French High Command pivoted the war strategy, but they were hindered in their fear of repeating the trench war of 1914. Thus their strategy was entirely defensive, hoping that the German military (no matter its power) would crash against the Allied superior numbers and its defenses (in short the Maginot Line).

They were sure that technology was not adavanced enough to overcome certain natural spaces, and though short of the German innovativenes, that was the cause of the attack through the Ardennes, and then the pincer movement that would lead to Dunkirk and the French defeat and surrender in 1940.

Leona [35]

Carl Jung work would Penelope likely cite to explain the observation.

Option D

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

There is frequent appearance of some characters, though the fact that the cultures Penelope is studying had little or no connection with each other. So, its most likely that Penelope would refer to Carl Jung's concept of archetypes, as he has been associated with such similarities.

As Jung states, these archetypes are collective unconscious of the common content that is being observed. Such common contents have their different appearance in myths, dreams, art, and stories. Also, such characters appear in literature and can be traced back to myths such as the hero.
