Mining is also known as _____ industry.

• A. Thief
• B. Robber
• C. Killer
• D. Wood

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

• Mining is called a robber industry because valuable resources are taken from the earth and hence depriving earth from it's own resources
  
• .These resources are not formed in a small time instead takes millions of years to replenish.
  
• This is because it is using up the earths resources, therefore in a very poetic sense 'robbing' the earth of its natural resources that will not be laid down again, at least not for an extremely long period of time
