As you saw in the video, the geological activity that forms volcanoes also produces valuable materials, such as gold, sulfur, an

d diamonds. However, not all volcanoes occur on land. The volcanic activity along oceanic plate boundaries can also deposit valuable metals and minerals along the ocean floor. In your own words, briefly compare and contrast the possible environmental impacts of mining underwater volcanoes versus land-based volcanoes.

The most significant difference between undersea and land volcanoes has frivolity to do with water's dampness, but with its force. At these depths, the water pressure can be two hundred and fifty times more effective than air pressure at the Earth's surface.

<h3>How do underwater volcanoes affect the environment?</h3>

Greenhouse Gas Liberation

Submarine volcanoes release a greater portion of carbon dioxide into the air which is calculated at around 180 to 440 million tons. The Sulfur Dioxide emission drives volcanic smog and plays a more significant role in ozone deficit.

Thus, this could be the answer.

The groundwater is being discharged faster than it is being recharged is the data suggested.

Option D

<h3><u>Ex planation:</u></h3>

Ground water level is the level of underground storage of water above the impermeable rock layer. The underground water is getting filtered through different layers of permeable rocks before it enters the final layer. So it’s fresh and ready to be consumed as it is taken out. Thus for centuries, it’s being used as the source of drinking water.

But with increasing population, the ground water is being consumed at the rate very faster than it can be refilled from different sources like precipitation, rivers and other water bodies. So its level tends to get lower and lower as this continues until the point it gets finished.

Which process can increase the rate of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere in response to a decrease in albedo?
Vesnalui [34]

B. Ice-albedo feedback

Explanation:

The ice-albedo feedback is one process that can significantly increase the rate of greenhouse emissions in response to a decreased albedo.

Albedo is the ratio of reflected light to incident light.

A decrease in albedo suggests that a surface is absorbing more light than it is reflecting. This is typical of areas with land cover and vegetation.

Areas with a high reflectivity have a high albedo. Snow, ice and polar regions are good reflectors of solar radiation. They have a very high albedo close to 100%. Much of the surface area is buried with ice.

Examples of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor e.t.c

How does a low albedo relates to increase in greenhouse gas emission?

  • The ice-albedo feedback can substantially contribute to greenhouse gas emission.
  • The high reflectivity of ice causes long wave radiation to warm the air around a icy body in polar regions.
  • When ice melts, they leave land bare and exposed.
  • Melt water collects in pockets.
  • Exposed land leads to a decrease in albedo.
  • Organisms can thrive more in warm terrain.
  • Also, pockets of carbon dioxide gases trapped in ice is released.
  • Organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during cellular respiration.
  • Soils originally permafrost will become stable and this will encourage more human occupation of the area.
  • All these activities leads to an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases in an area with low albedo.
