What Is a Gravel Pit? (with pictures)
A gravel pit is a type of mine that is left exposed to the surface of the earth. While a great deal of mining is performed deep underground, a gravel pit is used to mine materials loed close to the earth's surface. These mines start off as relatively small holes, or voids, and grow larger and larger as more mining is completed.
