Description
Surface mining is a common and effective practice that dates back to early planetary settlement. The process involves stripping a planet's surface layer until the ore buried beneath is exposed. At this point, the ore can be more easily extracted. Surface mines are typically quite shallow and are built in areas where the surface material covering the valuable deposits is relatively thin. For this reason, surface mines are sometimes built on the ocean floor.
