In this situation, I would try not to allow the exploitation of the mountain to occur, degrading nature and the property that her family has, because her brother may look for another job, but nature would not recover.

<h3>What are the impacts of coal mining?</h3>

The burning of coal for energy produces highly toxic effluents, such as mercury and other heavy metals such as vanadium, cadmium, arsenic and lead. In addition, the release of carbon dioxide causes pollution in the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming and contributing to acid rain.

With this information, we can conclude that Sedimentation and pollution of rivers due to improper disposal of unused material would make life on the family's property unfeasible.

How are cancer cells able to get nutrients away from your healthy cells?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>well this is an interesting question and i would say it may depend on what type of cancer cells you are growing and what type of "normal" cells your growing. One possibility is that cell fusion events may occur between your cancer cells and normal cells, thus creating a few options 1 - making the normal cell cancerous, 2 - making the cancer cell that fused with the normal cell not cancerous anymore. 3 - either way the fused cell will have a different genotype and hence be a different cell.</span>
