The Kimberley Process deceitfully exploits the mining/front end of the African diamond industry and covertly sustains the retail/back end of the world diamond industry.
Kimberley is known for its diamond mines, including the famous Big Hole mine. Other minerals mined in the Kimberley area include copper, silver, lead, and zinc. The region has a rich mining history dating back to the late 19th century.
The Kimberley Diamond mine - Known as "the Big Hole" was mined by hand to a depth of 790 feet. Once above ground operations became too dangerous and unproductive, The DeBeers Corporation commenced underground operations to a depth of 3600 feet.
Silts are naturally brought by rivers and streams when they overflow their banks. This process is a natural way for soil to be replenished and fertilized which benefits farmers' fields.
Nitrification is a process in the nitrogen cycle where ammonia is converted into nitrites and then nitrates by bacteria. This conversion makes nitrogen available for plants to use for growth, which ultimately benefits the entire ecosystem.
The benefits of energy production are that the use of fossil fuels are readily available for use and it is a simple process to break these fuels into energy. The risks associated with energy development is that the combustion of these fields lead to pollution which affects the environment.
