Question

Can someone tell me what is the difference between drilling and quarrying in a short

Answer 1

Quarrying : Minerals that lie near the surface are simply dug out of the ground through a process called open cast mining. The open thus formed is called an open pit or a quarry.

Drilling : Petroleum and natural gas occur far below the earth's surface. Deep wells are bored or drilled to take them out. Drilling can also be done off-shore.
