Best Answer

There have been dozens of land mine removal devices. Some of them used technology developed by NASA for remotely controlled vehicles, such as the Mars Explorer, or powered arms used for materials handling in space, such as the cargo arm from the space shuttle.

What is a soil eriosion?

Soil erosion simply means the removal of soil from land. The most common ways soil is removed from land are by rain water or by wind. Soil erosion is often accelerated by human activities such as farming.


How was the land bridge formed?

Land bridges aren't actually formed, they are already there but covered by the sea. When a glacial period starts, the water evaporated from the oceans falls as snow on the land and then compacts as ice which does not melt. Continual removal of water from the oceans over thousands of years causes sea level to drop and exposes the "land bridges".


What is a erusion Coast?

Erosion of the coast is simply the weathering or the removal of land in the beach as a result of waves. This can also be caused by the wave currents, tidal currents and also drainage.


The main reason for land subsidence is?

The removal of water from aquifers, such as fine grained sediments. The rock compacts because water is partly responsible for holding the ground up, and when the water is removed, the rock falls on itself.An excessive extraction of groundwater is the primary reason for land subsidence. This is particularly a problem in the southwestern United States.


How does removal of groundwater cause land subsidence?

Water in the ground occupies the volume between the individual grains of material in the rock or soil from which the ground is composed. Thus wet clay, for example, will shrink in volume as it drys out and cracks may appear too. A similar thing will occur if groundwater is removed and the land dries out - it will shrink (subsidence) and cracks may also appear.
