mime as a theatrical medium or as a performance art, involving miming, or the acting out a story through body motions, without use of speech. In earlier times, in English, such a performer would typically be referred to as a mummer. Miming is to be distinguished from silent comedy, in which the artist is a seamless character in a film or sketch.
The performance of pantomime originates at its earliest in Ancient Greece; the name is taken from a single masked dancer called Pantomimus, although performances were not necessarily silent. In Medieval Europe, early forms of mime such as mummer plays and later dumbshows evolved. In early nineteenth century Paris, Jean-Gaspard Deburau solidified the many attributes that we have come to know in modern times

Mining and farming can significantly alter abiotic factors in rivers by affecting water quality, temperature, and sediment levels. Mining often leads to increased sedimentation and contamination from heavy metals and chemicals, disrupting aquatic ecosystems. Farming can result in nutrient runoff, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which can cause eutrophication, altering oxygen levels and temperature in the water. Both activities can also change the river's flow patterns, impacting habitats and the overall health of the aquatic environment.
