As the drill bit rotates and hits the ground Explanation: "Barreno" has different meanings in the mining business in different countries in South America. It usually means hole, but in Peru, for example, it means bit. It is the bit the one that rotates and hits the ground to break the rock. So, your whole sentence there could be: "As the drill bit rotates and hits the ground, it breaks the rock apart" |
