Answer:
1. Sluicing.
2. Placer mining.
3. Hard rock mining.
4. Hydraulic mining.
Explanation:
Mining can be defined as the process of extracting mineral resources from the Earth's surface such as seem, placer, ore-body, vein etc. Some examples of minerals that can be mined are gravel, gold, chalk, petroleum, limestone, coal, potash, rock salt etc.
The various techniques used for mining includes the following;
1. Sluicing: a technique that used a trough to separate gold from gravel.
2. Placer mining: a type of mining in which minerals were found in loose sand and gravel.
3. Hard rock mining: a technique that involved digging tunnels along the veins of gold and breaking up tons of ore.
4. Hydraulic mining: a type of mining that used water under high pressure to blast away dirt, exposing the minerals underneath.
