What are two disadvantages of bauxite mining?
Causes acid rain
Is air pollution a result of acid rain?
acid rain is the result of air pollution
Acid mine drainage results from the chemical weathering of?
While some acid mine drainage is the result of weathering the major influence is the action of acid forming bacteria such asAcidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) found in pyrite deposits where it metabolizes iron and sulfur to produce sulfuric acid.Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus concretivorus) which consumes sulfur and sulfides to produce produces sulfuric acid.The sulfur and iron compounds are common in many ores and coal deposits and the waste deposits resulting from their extraction.
Is a floodplain a result of deposition?
acid rain
How does mining cause acid rain?
The actual burning of the coal contributes more to global warming than the mining itself.
How can mining create acid rain?
Mining does not create acid rain. Smelting of mined ores (a different process entirely) creates acid rain when sulfur dioxide is releases, Mining can cause acid mine drainage a bacterial impact of bacteria such as thiobacillus thioxidans on sulfates and sulfides.
What is mining water?
Acid mine drainage is the low pH created by microorganisms convering sulfides and sulfates in tailing from the ore processing into sulfuric acid.

What are the problems associated with Coal Mining?
Coal mining can cause massive environmental destruction via unrestricted strip mining, and it can destroy nearby rivers via acid mine drainage. It can harm the health of workers and people living nearby, as well.
