Answer:
The answer is A.
<u>Oil companies are drilling</u>
Explanation:
In addition to accidental oil spills that can damage large bodies of water and soil compaction that can directly influence earthquakes, due to human error during oil extraction, the soil can become contaminated with formation water, which may contain heavy metals or oil, which causes the soil to be permanently eroded
This is what mainly happens in the Middle East:
- Contamination of aquifers by chemical oils.
- Deforestation for construction.
- <u>Damage to the geomembrane</u> caused by soil contamination.
