Mining can influence the local communities both positively and negatively. The positive influences like generating employment and community development projects are essential for the native people, however, only two positives do not cover up the potential negatives of mining.  

Some of the negative impacts of mining on the local communities are:  

1. Obstructing them from using clean water and land.  

2. Forcing them from their homes and land.  

3. Modifying the social dynamics of a community.  

4. Exhibiting influences on their health and livelihoods.  

5. Exposing them to harassment by the government or mine personnel.

Please help!What are the roles of a decomposer? Check all that apply.
9966 [12]

Answer:

decomposer decomposes :) so it breaks down the organic matter into simpler compounds. it's very important process because complex compounds that build living organisms are not absorbable for other organisms, thus chemical cycling wouldn't be possible and the whole ecosystem would shut down. dead plants and animals would be everywhere and new organisms couldn't be born/grown. mold breaks down dead organic matter like dead trees. as the result simple compounds come into existence and can be assimilated by plants
