    Quarrying involves extracting stones and other materials from a quarry, which is a large, deep pit. It is also known as surface mining or open pit mining. The main difference between quarrying and mining is that quarrying extracts materials like stones from the surface, while mining extracts valuable minerals underground or from deep pits. Quarrying produces materials like limestone, sand, gravel, and clays that are used to build infrastructure and develop roads, thereby supporting a country's economic growth and providing jobs.
