What else can I help you with?
Mining methods for detrital and residual clay?
Strip mining is the most common method.
Is feces organic?
Most of it would be because feces is the result material that is organic.
What chemical harms the ozone layer?
Various chemicals can harm the ozone layer.The ones containing halogens are the most harmful.
Which method of mining is the most damaging to the environment?
Hydraulic mining techniques, used primarily in rain forests, blasting away at river banks, clearing floodplain forests, and using heavy machinery to expose potential gold-yielding gravel deposits is probably the most damaging. Gold is usually extracted from this gravel using a sluice box to separate heavier sediment and mercury for amalgamating the precious metal. While most of the mercury is removed for reuse or burned off, some may end up in rivers. The rain forest ecosystem is rather fragile - with most of the nutrients tied up in the plants that are uprooted and destroyed during the process. The remaining mud and gravel cannot support plant growth to any significant degree so the mined area remains desolate for a very long time after the mining operations move on. Adding the heavy metal pollution to this only makes it that much worse. Next in damage would probably be strip mining followed by acid leaching where the runoff from the leaching is a highly toxic solution of heavy metals and acids and the mined ground is incapable of sustaining plant growth unless the mining operation is willing to invest in bringing in fresh soil to replace what was stripped off. Even if they do, there is still the problem of the toxic runoff from the tailings piles generated from the mining and refining operations.
What is the first most abundant material in Earth's crust?
Rock is the most abundant material in the crust.
Which action would most likely reduce concerns about how strip mining can harm the environment?
Implementing strict regulations and monitoring of mining practices to minimize environmental damage, promoting reclamation efforts to restore the land post-mining, and investing in research for more sustainable mining techniques would help reduce concerns about how strip mining harms the environment.
What electricity generation harms the environment the most?
Burning coal to generate electricity releases the most carbon dioxide of the fossil fuels.
Why type of mining is the most harmful to the environment?
Open-pit mining is often considered the most harmful type of mining to the environment. This method involves removing large amounts of earth and rock to access mineral deposits, leading to deforestation, habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution. It can have long-lasting negative impacts on local ecosystems and communities.
What region is mining done?
Mining in some form is conducted in every state of the US, and in most of the world (with the exception of Antarctica). Mining locations will be determined by the location of the material to be mined- coal mines are located where there is coal, gold mines where there is gold, etc.
Which soft drink harms you the most?
coco cola
What is the most expensive mining?
underground mining
What is a specific environmental problem within energy conservation?
When people do not conserve energy, they are using or wasting the energy. This means that more energy must be produced. The most common way to do this is to burn fossil fuels. Not only are fossil fuels a finite (limited) natural resource, but mining them harms the environment. Also, the waste produced from using so much energy can pollute the environment through physical waste matters, and also with air pollution through emissions.

What type of mining is involved in mining iron?
Strip mining is the most effective way?
What environmental political and cultural factors might contribute to a desire for cars with higher fuel efficiency or cars that use alternative energy sources?
Most environmentalists claim that using gas harms the environment.
Compare surface and subsurface mining?
Surface Miningeasier than subsurface miningdoes more damage to environmentcreates more of a messSubsurface Miningit is very dangerousyou retrieve minerals from undergroundyou have very little air underground
What is An area where most of the land is used for mining?
An area where most of the land is used for mining is known as a mining district or a mining region. These areas are characterized by extensive mining activities, infrastructure to support mining operations, and regulation specific to mining industry. Examples include the Pilbara region in Australia for iron ore mining and the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa for gold mining.
