Rock Mines in Ambalavayal


Like what I described in my previous post, Ambalavayal is a place with lots of rock quarries. When some one dig some where in the soil of Ambalavayal they will find rock beneath a layer of soil. The number of rock quarries boomed up drastically during the past one or two decades. Rock is an essential material for the construction of the building. But when rock quarries are permitted, there should be some regulations which take care of the natural disasters which can build up due to these mines.


In the first picture, you can see a rock mine, and the second picture is a zoomed out view of the same. The picture is taken from Edakkal caves. You can see that a major part of the rock is already carved out. After a few more years, you won’t even see the hill there. The two other Rock Mountains which you can see on either side of the quarry in the zoomed out picture may also get destructed very soon. Wav!!! Earth will be smooth and more round in the future, making a friction free rotation in the space.
