Stone quarrying is a form of land use method concerned with the extraction of non-fuel and non-metal minerals from rocks. Using the qualitative model, the paper interrogates the impact of stone quarrying on the livelihoods of the workers and provides critical insights into the effects of stone quarrying on the environment.

A quarry is a place where rocks, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of Earth.A quarry is a type of mine called an open-pit mine, because it is open to Earth's surface.Another type of mine, a subsurface mine, consists of underground tunnels or shafts.. The most common purpose of quarries is to extract stone for building materials. …

It also explained the quarrying area magnitude responsible for the extent, distribution and the rate of de-vegetation of quarrying activities in Ebonyi State. The area extent of quarrying activities in Ebonyi state is 402.855 hectares to the degree of (0.1%) as clearly indicated by the GIS map of the area.

This study was carried out in three quarry sites at Mount Korok, also known as Jebel Kujur area, which is located within Juba Town Council in Central Equatoria State, South Sudan. The main aim was to assess the impact of quarrying activities on the local ground cover vegetation, mainly grasses and low-lying non-woody herbaceous plants. …

The present article is an attempt to appraise the importance of the stone quarrying in the village-level micro economy as well as to study the adverse effects of such destructive activities on nature.

2. The many ways mining activities impact biodiversity. Mining affects biodiversity at multiple spatial scales (site, landscape, regional and global) through direct (i.e. mineral extraction) and indirect processes (via industries supporting mining operations, and external stakeholders who gain access to biodiversity-rich areas as the result of …

to move material from one place to another. water table. noun. underground area where the Earth's surface is saturated with water. Also called water level. A quarry is a place where rocks, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of Earth. A quarry is a type of mine called an open-pit mine, because it is open to Earth's surface.

Quarrying activity produces massive dumps on the mining area. However, quarries damages not only the land surface but also the natural vegetation as well as biodiversity.

The significant impacts of quarrying are largely site specific and depend on the kind of land use and land cover changes involved, nature and method of extraction, baseline characteristics of the …

The results show that soapstone quarrying activities lead to vegetation cover destruction which exposes the soil to agents of erosion (Figs. 2 and 3). These findings are similar to those of [2,3 ...

A flow diagram of typical quarrying operations is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Process flow diagram for granite quarrying operations. As shown in Figure 1, the first step in quarrying is to gain access to the granite deposit. This is achieved by removing the layer of earth, vegetation, and rock unsuitable for product—collectively referred to as

The activities associated with soapstone quarrying include clearing of vegetation, removal of top soil, earth moving, excavation of the stones and chopping off the unwanted parts of the soapstone.

In this context, restoring a vegetation cover especially on abandoned quarrying sites and CDW dumpsites will help mitigating water problems (Calder 2007). Also, a restored vegetation cover can help in masking altered landforms and embed the restored sites into their natural landscape.
