exploration and extraction techniques
Exploration involves searching for natural resources like minerals, oil, or gas, using methods such as geological surveys, remote sensing, and seismic testing to identify promising locations. Once a resource is located, extraction techniques are used to retrieve it. These include drilling wells, excavating surface deposits, or using specialized machinery to access underground or beneath the seabed. Both processes require careful planning to assess resource quantity, quality, and environmental impact, ensuring efficient and responsible development of natural resources.
