A quarry is an open-pit mining process designed specifically for the removal of large deposits of rock. Quarries can be found all over the world and most are located where a particular type of rock - such as granite, marble, limestone, slate, or gypsum - occurs near the earth's surface. Quarries produce crushed stone, sand and gravel for use in ...
