Answer:

A quarry is the same thing as an open-pit mine from which minerals are extracted. The only trivial difference between the two is that open-pit mines that produce building materials and dimension stone are commonly referred to as quarries.

Explanation:

Open-pit mining, also known as opencast mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts minerals from an open pit in the ground. ... This surface mining technique is used when mineral or ore deposits are found relatively close to the surface of the earth.

Quarrying is the process of removing rock, sand, gravel or other minerals from the ground in order to use them to produce materials for construction or other uses. So, a quarry is any such working on the surface of the earth where minerals are extracted.
