Mining and Fossil Fuels - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Reserve: Source of a certain mineral which it isn't mined
      - Life expectancy: Number of years reserves are expected to last when they are active
  - - - Enormous holes are produced in this process, where many trucks and machinery will work
    - - Shafts are seeked where minerals rest
      - Dangerous for reasons such as Flooding or Seismic movements which block the escape routs
    - - Big Machines are used to absorbe oil and gas through a big tube
  - - - Core examples are evaluated and analyzed in order to the value of the Core
    - - When step 4 is done, the mining process itself starts.
        
        Underground Mining: Digging of tunnels and shafts in order to reach the Minerals, and after that, Minerals are processed and separated from any mud.
        
        Surface Mining: Workers begin by striping soil, and rock
    - - Skilled workers will apply their knowledge in order to identify possible Ore areas
        
        Direct Method: Visual examination
        
        Indirect Method: Radiometer and Seismic monitor
    - - The safety of the miners has to be planned in order to able the procedure, as well as if it is worth to mine in that Core
    - - Establishing a path to the mineral deposit, acces roads must be constructed and a power source should be established
    - - Minerals are taken into trucks and shipped to sale.
      - Besides, the area has to be treated in such a way that there is nothing left that will damage the environment
