How to use "Quarry" in context?
The quarry is a very old form of extraction where minerals or rocks are removed from the ground. The quarrying process usually begins with the selection of a quarry site, which is typically a location with accessible bedrock and good surface drainage. For solid rock quarries, the extraction of the rock begins with the removal of the overburden or topsoil. This is done by using heavy machinery, such as bulldozers, to roll up the topsoil and dump it out of the quarry. This leaves the hard, durable rock exposed.
