"More blasting" refers to the process of utilizing explosives in a greater magnitude or extent to break or fragment a material, typically rock, during construction, mining, or demolition activities. This technique is employed to efficiently and effectively remove large quantities of material or to access desired resources.
The term "blasting" itself is related to the controlled and deliberate use of explosives to disintegrate or dislodge materials, exerting a force that surpasses the natural strength or resistance of the substance. Blasting is commonly employed in mining operations to extract minerals or ores from the Earth's crust, as well as in construction projects to create tunnels, roads, or building foundations.
When "more blasting" is mentioned, it signifies an escalated application of this method, involving larger quantities of explosive materials, increased detonation force, or a wider scope of the area being treated. This can be necessary when dealing with exceptionally hard or dense materials that demand higher levels of force to fragment, in order to achieve the desired results.
The execution of "more blasting" requires meticulous planning, incorporating considerations such as safety measures, debris management, and environmental impact. Proper precautions must be taken to ensure the well-being of workers nearby, the structural integrity of neighboring structures, and the mitigation of adverse effects on the environment.
The phrase "more blasting" does not have a well-established etymology as it is a combination of two words that individually have distinct origins: "more" and "blasting".
1. More: The word "more" comes from the Old English "māra", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "maizô". This word has Indo-European roots, ultimately traced back to the Proto-Indo-European word "*móro", meaning "great" or "exceedingly".
2. Blasting: The word "blasting" comes from the verb "blast", which was first used in the early 16th century. "Blast" originates from Middle English "blasten", which is believed to have evolved from Old English "blǣstan", meaning "to blow" or "to breathe heavily".
