BOULBY, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 20: Potash product falls from a conveyor as it is stockpiled in a silo at the surface works of Cleveland Potash mine on November 20, 2014 in Boulby, United Kingdom. Cleveland Potash mine began production in 1973. At around 1400 metres deep it is the second deepest mine of this type in Europe and extends out to 7 km under the North Sea. Each year the mine produces over one million tons of potash and three quarters of a million tons of salt. It operates 365 days a year and employs around a thousand workers as well as providing secondary employment to many other firms in the area. Potash products are used for fertilizer production as well as for glass making and applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The salt products also meet a variety of needs from winter road maintenance to sugar beet cultivation. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
