| Definition | Mining and quarrying in the form of the extraction of minerals and materials occurring naturally as solids (coal, ores, gravel, sand, salt), liquids (petroleum), gases (natural gas) or biomass (peat). Extraction can be achieved by different methods such as underground or surface mining or extraction, well operation etc. Originally, in the HILUCS classes this use type was subdivided into three subtypes according to the criteria of mining products, which have been moved to the LCH block in the EAGLE matrix. |
