Rock breakage by crushing, blasting, and drilling

Most of the energy is dissipated as kinetic energy or thermal energy. Crushing, blasting and drilling are all mechanical processes of rock fracture and size reduction. The sole purpose of crushing is the reduction in size of a given material. Blasting serves to reduce size and produce fragmentation of rock.
