There is no reason for a blanket ban on mining. However, the environmental impact of each proposed mine should be analyzed before permission to proceed is granted. Mining operators must be aware of the potential impacts of their operations and ensure minimum risk to the environment.The holes also spread a big germ to many parts of the world which soon gets the world polluted
== The process of extracting gold from the mined ore uses poisonous chemicals which, if not treated properly, can contaminate water supplies and kill living things for miles. This is in addition to the local damage at the mining site itself, i.e., the hole in the mountain or the ground. == Gold mining has a long history of destruction. There are dramatic photos of flooded towns in the Imperial Valley of California. These communities were along rivers downstream from hydraulic mining operations in the Sierra Nevada. The flooding was entirely due to the silty runoff from places like Malakoff Diggins, which is now a state historical park. Use the link below to see pictures. Massive volumes of material were washed downstream and destroyed wildlife habitat, and this in addition to literally flooding town in the valley. In the world now there is more concern for the environment, but there are still mining operations in poor nations where little to no environmental consideration is given to mining operations. Massive holes in the ground are abandoned, and contaminated water seeps into aquifers unchecked. Contemporary mining requires the use of massive amounts of energy in the form of electricity and petrochemical fuels and chemical treatments to mine, extract and process ore to recover the gold. Gold is valuable, and money is being made mining it. But a lot of "secondary pollution" occurs in the process.
it takes up land to be temperarelly disrupted,which creates soil ersosion, dust, noise and water pollution, and impacts local bioversity.
special emphasis on water quality determinaton due to acid mine drainage which results in significant concentration levels attract (toxic) metals.
Coal is the biggest source of mercery contamintipn in the us air
because when gold mining we use a method called open cast mining and that means to dig a large dip in the ground and work from there. before the hole was dug there was probably lots of vegetation they gone thrown away. looks is another thing the look of the hole afterwards

Mining has a big effect on the environment. It creates air pollution, deforestation, water pollution, and it endangers animals.
No,it is human destruction over environment by mining.
mining can be minimised by not being done
one positive effect of mining is you get some needed & not needed resources
it destroys our natural mountains. And it also is ugly.
cos its a small industrie it dosent affect the enviroment
They knock down trees and pollute the air!
The effect of mining quartz is it make the world smell more. If there are still quartz mining going on, monitor lizards will extinct from the world.
mining companies are hiering enviromentel, sientists to help restoring the land destroyed by mining. there are regulations in the industry responsible for comtrolling polution and restoring damaged enviroment
Hydraulic mining
The mining and burning of coal is the most damaging to the environment.
find out on wiki encyclpia!
no, mining of any type is not good for the environment, it destroys the land and I feel that is wrong
Mining requires deforestation...
