What environmental impacts are caused by both surface mining and underground mining? Select the two correct answers.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

B. local water contamination

D. destruction of ecosystems

Explanation:

The mining, be it a surface one or underground one, has several negative impacts on the surrounding area. Two common negative impacts of both types of mining are contamination of the local waters, as well as the destruction of ecosystems.

The waters get heavily polluted with toxic chemicals pretty much always ad everywhere where there is mining. The main reason for this is that the nus-products from the mining are released into the waters. This causes high level pollution of the waters, thus making it not good for anything, and the aquatic life in the waters dies out rapidly.

The fact that the waters are heavily polluted means that everything that comes in touch with them becomes heavily polluted as well. Also, apart from releasing chemicals in the waters, the mining requires space, so the area is cleared out, and after that lot of toxic material is disposed on it. The majority of the plants can sustain that, so they die out, and since they are the basis of the ecosystems, the animals die out as well.

Most of New Zealand has what type of climate?
tatyana61 [14]
As a mountainous island chain, New Zealand has a complex maritime climate whose weather is greatly affected by the mountains and the sea. The climate ranges from warm sub-tropical in the north, to cool sub-temperate in the south. The prevailing winds are westerly and this leads to a reasonably high rainfall particularly in the west. New Zealand's location relative to Antarctica means that weather systems from that direction can cause very sudden deterioration in weather and extreme drops in temperature particularly in the south.
