What is the main impact of mining?

Other than a very large hole in the ground... Mining requires stripping the area surrounding the pit of soil and plant life, which can result in a destabilization of the surrounding soil with heavy rain. This can result in mudslides and/or landslides. Longer-term, mining can expose harmful materials - such as heavy metals - to the surrounding areas via water-leeching. This can slowly poison both the plant and animal life, as well as the surrounding human population if not carefully controlled.
