Demining is the slow, careful work of finding landmines and taking them out of the ground, so people can walk, farm, or go home again. A landmine is a bomb hidden in the soil; it waits for a foot or a wheel. After a war, fields and roads can stay dangerous for years, so trained workers — and sometimes dogs or machines — do the demining. You will hear this word in news about old war zones and aid groups. It names the process, the job. Though actually, people also say mine clearance, which means the same work. This is not mining for coal or gold: here you are taking bombs OUT, not digging treasure up.
