| 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 | Tiefseebergbau |
| emplacement of containers in a mine | Lagerung von Behältern in einem Bergwerk |
| landscape after mining The process of mining disfigures the surface of the land, and in the absence of reclamation leads to permanent scars. The process spoils the vital topsoil, disrupts drainage patterns, destroys the productive capacity of agricultural and forest land and impairs their aesthetic and social value | Bergbaufolgelandschaft |

| mine filling Filling of disused mines with soil, crushed stone, or waste materials in order to restore the geological, agricultural and landscape features of the concerned area | Grubenzuschüttung |

| mining site restoration Mining is an intensive type of land use with potential for environmental impact over a limited area. When closure occurs, it should address both environmental and safety aspects. Mine reclamation is an ongoing program designed to restore to an acceptable state the physical, chemical and biological quality or potential of air, land and water regimes disturbed by mining. The objective of mine reclamation is to prevent or minimize adverse long-term environmental impacts, and create a self-sustaining ecosystem as near as practicable to what existed before the mining activity | Sanierung von Bergbaugebieten |

| offshore mining Oil extraction from platforms situated a short distance from the coast | Offshore Abbau |
| opencast mining Extracting metal ores and minerals that lie near the surface by removing the overlying material and breaking and loading the ore | Tagebau |
| sea bed mining The activity or processes involving the extraction of mineral deposits from the surface, or below the surface, of the ocean floor | Meereslagerstättenabbau |
| sea bed mining | Meereslagerstättenabbau |
| urban mining | Rückgewinnung nützlicher Stoffe aus Siedlungsabfall |
