Answer:

The crime would be C. Involuntary manslaughter.

Explanation:

Manslaughter is different from murder because it does not have the intent to kill. Generally, vehicular accidents fall into this category because mostly the drivers are reckless and this results in a fatality. However, they do not have the intent to kill.

Involuntary manslaughter means the kill was unintentional and was the product of recklessness which can be clearly understood in this example.

In the example we can see that the motorist runs the stop sign, which is a reckless action, and kills the pedestrian, the result of the reckless action.

The other options (A, B and D) are not the correct choice because the motorist's intent was not to kill so it was not first degree murder nor was the intent to do serious bodily injury.

What is mining i want to know

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the process or industry of obtaining minerals from a mine.

Explanation:

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth, usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposit. These deposits form a mineralized commodity that is of economic interest to the miner.

Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, chalk, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. Mining is required to obtain any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or feasibly created artificially in a laboratory or factory. Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum, natural gas, or even water.

Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials, and final reclamation of the land after the mine is closed.

Mining operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the mining activity and after the mine has closed. Hence, most of the world's nations have passed regulations to decrease the impact. Work safety has long been a concern as well, and modern practices have significantly improved safety in mines.
