stone quarrying

Stone quarrying is the process of extracting large amounts of rocks and minerals from the earth's surface to be used in construction, sculpture, and industry. It involves removing overburden (soil and loose rocks), then breaking and blasting solid rock formations with controlled techniques to access the stone. Heavy machinery such as excavators and drills are used to cut, split, and transport the materials. Quarrying is carefully managed to minimize environmental impact and ensure the safety of workers. The extracted stones are then processed further for various applications, maintaining a balance between resource use and environmental responsibility.
