| 海底采矿 | sea bed mining The activity or processes involving the extraction of mineral deposits from the surface, or below the surface, of the ocean floor (在大洋地面的活动或操作，包括从表面或表面下开采金属沉积物。) |
| 深海采矿 | deep sea mining The most valuable of the marine mineral resources is petroleum. About 15% of the world's oil is produced offshore, and extraction capabilities are advancing. One of the largest environmental impacts of deep sea mining are discharged sediment plumes which disperse with ocean currents and thus may negatively influence the marine ecosystem. Coal deposits known as extensions of land deposits , are mined under the sea floor in Japan and England (最有价值的海洋矿物资源是石油。 世界上约有15%的石油产自外海，且提取能力不断进步。深海采矿对环境最大的影响之一是弃置沉积物所产生的烟尘随着洋流而扩散，因此可能对海洋生态产生负面影响。众所周知煤矿是陆上矿藏的延伸，已开采的有日本和英国海底的煤矿。) |
| 煤矿开采 | coal mining The technical and mechanical job of removing coal from the earth and preparing it for market (挖掘煤炭以及将其准备投入市场的技术、机械工作。) |
| 石头盐矿开采 | rock salt mining Rock salt mining is an underground mining process in which the salt is physically dug out of the ground in an operation involving drilling, blasting and crushing the rock. The major percentage of this output is used for winter road maintenance (石头盐矿开采是地下采矿过程。在这个过程中通过钻孔、爆破和破碎的岩石把盐挖出地面。出产的主要部分用作冬天的路面维护。) |
| 采矿 | mineral extraction The process of extracting metallic or nonmetallic mineral deposits from the Earth (从地球提取金属或者非金属矿产的过程。) |
| 采矿 | mining The act, process or industry of extracting coal, ores, etc. from the earth (从地球中开采煤、矿石等的行为、过程或产业。) |
| 采矿业 | mining industry A sector of the economy in which an aggregate of commercial enterprises is engaged in the extraction of minerals occurring naturally, often involving quarrying, well operations, milling, exploration and development (一个经济分支，在其中的商业企业主要从事天然矿产的开采，往往涉及采石、井下运作、研磨、勘探和开发。) |
| 采矿区 | mining district A district where mineral exploitation is performed (在其中进行矿产开采的区域。) |
| 采矿地质学 | mining geology The study of geologic aspects of mineral deposits, with particular regard to problems associated with mining (矿床地质方面的研究，特别考虑到与采矿有关的问题。) |
| 采矿工程美 | Mining Engineering |
| 采矿工程 | mining engineering Engineering concerned with the discovery, development and exploitation of coal, ores, and minerals, as well as the cleaning, sizing and dressing of the product (涉及煤炭、矿石和矿物质的发现、开发和开采，及产品清洗、规格化和包装的工程。) |
| 采矿废弃物 | mining waste Any residue which results from the extraction of raw materials from the earth (任何来自从地上提取原料的残留物。) |
