| aggregate extraction Extraction of crushed rock or gravel screened to sizes for use in road surfaces, concretes, or bituminous mixes | 筛选骨材 (对用于马路表面、混凝土或沥青混合物的碎石或沙砾的大小进行筛选。) |
| gravel extraction Obtaining a mixture of coarse sand and small water- worn or pounded stones, (used for paths and roads and as an aggregate) from the earth | 砂石开采，砂石挖掘 (从地层中获取粗砂和细小的受水磨蚀或磨碎之石头混合物，通常用作舖设道路的材料。) |
| groundwater extraction The process, deliberate or inadvertent, of extracting ground water from a source at a rate so in excess of the replenishment that the ground water level declines persistently, threatening exhaustion of the supply or at least a decline of pumping levels to uneconomic depths | 地下水提取 (精心策划或随意自地下水源以超过地下水补充的速率汲取水的过程，会造成地下水位持续的下降，使得水源有枯竭的危险，或至少使水位下降至不符合经济效益的抽取位置。) |
| mineral extraction The process of extracting metallic or nonmetallic mineral deposits from the Earth | 采矿 (从地球提取金属或者非金属矿产的过程。) |
| natural gas extraction The tapping of natural gas from wells located under the sea and in general from underground sources often in association with petroleum deposits; it is used as a fuel, having largely replaced coal-gas for this purpose, and as a source of intermediates for organic synthesis | 天然气开采 (海下气井和地下天然气的开采一般都与石油矿床有关，它作为燃料被使用，为此在很大程度上取代煤气，以及作为有机合成中间体源。) |
| oil extraction Recovery of oil by surface mining, as in tar sands or oil shales, or from tunnels in a shallow reservoir | 采油 (表面开采以回收石油，如在沥青沙、油页岩中或来自浅油藏的隧洞。) |
| peat extraction Peat is obtained from peat bogs by cutting it from the earth; it is then formed into briquettes, which can be used as fuel. Peat may be found in layers several metres thick. In some countries peat-fired generating stations for electricity are in use. Peat is also used as a soil conditioner | 泥煤提取 (从泥炭地中提取泥炭，然后形成煤球，可作为燃料。泥炭层有数公尺厚。在一些国家电站作为发电能源投入使用。泥炭也被用作土壤保护素。) |
| sand extraction The extraction of sand by mining for building purposes and for the extraction of heavy minerals such as rutile and zircon | 沙石开采 (为了建筑使用的矿物和获得重金属例如金红石和锆石而开采沙子。) |
| water extraction Pumping of water for different purposes (i.e. agriculture, land reclamation, domestic and industrial use, etc.) | 水提取 (抽水用于不同目的(如农业、土地复垦、家庭和工业用途等)。) |
