Mining | An 18th-century term for a science accounting for the origin, distribution, and sequence of minerals and rocks in the Earth's crust. The term was superseded by geology as early ideas were abandoned. It has become restricted to absolute knowledge of the Earth, as distinct from thetheoretical and speculative reasoning of geology.
