It saves resources by the means of extracting the coal, and then by refining it for use. For example, there is a lot of CO2 released during the purification process

How much gold has been mined in human history?

It's hard to believe, but if all the gold ever mined was weighed, it would amount to between 140,000 and 160,000 tons. That would be a cube of approximately 62 feet on a side. A cubic inch of gold weighs 11.06 oz.

What would happen to earth if we didn't recycle plastic?

If plastic is not recycled, it would continue to accumulate in landfills and oceans, leading to environmental pollution and harm to wildlife. The production of new plastic would also continue to put a strain on natural resources and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling helps to reduce these negative impacts by conserving resources and reducing waste.


A population is at the carrying capacity for its environment What would happen if the carrying capacity suddenly decreased?

If the carrying capacity suddenly decreased, you could probably expect the amount of organisms within the ecosystem to decrease as well. (There is a decreased amount of room/resources for the organisms, causing the quantity of organisms to decrease as well.) hope that helps :)

What is the total amount of diamonds ever mined?

I heard on NPR last year that the total amount of all the gold ever mined would fill two Olympic swimming pools. But I bet this answer will be much harder to find for diamonds. Diamonds are most likely not as rare as they are purported to be. They are used industrially on a much wider scale than industrial uses of gold.


How could energy conservation help to control or decrease air water and land pollution?

Conserving energy resources reduces the amount of fossil fuels that are burned, which reduces air pollution. Reductions in fossil fuel consumption would reduce the need for petroleum and natural gas drilling, as well as the need for coal mining. Reducing these activities would reduce water and land pollution.
