- 2Both can be used for transportation or access.
- 3Both require excavation or removal of material.
- 4Both can be used for mining or construction purposes.
- 5Both can be dangerous if not done properly.
What is the difference?
- 1Location: Digging is typically done above ground, while tunneling involves creating a passage underground.
- 2Purpose: Digging is often done to create a hole or trench, while tunneling is done to create a passage or channel.
- 3Size: Tunneling typically involves creating a larger passage than digging.
- 4Equipment: Tunneling often requires specialized equipment, while digging can be done with basic tools.
- 5Direction: Digging can be done in any direction, while tunneling is typically done horizontally or at a slight angle.
Remember this!
Dig and tunnel both involve excavation or removal of material to create a passage or channel. However, digging is typically done above ground to create a hole or trench, while tunneling involves creating a larger passage underground for transportation or access. Tunneling requires specialized equipment and is typically done horizontally or at a slight angle.
