The correct answer is D. Increasing soil erosion

Explanation:

Mining refers to the process of extracting minerals such as coal, chalk, limestone, etc that are usually placed on underground deposits. Because of this, mining often involves excavation, although other methods use substances and chemicals to extract the mineral. In all of this cases, the natural properties of the soil are negatively affected as vegetation is often removed along with multiple soil layers, this leads to soil erosion due to the damage in the soil and the lack of vegetation that make the soi dry and in most case infertile. Therefore, one way mining for mineral resources damages land is by increasing soil erosion.

Why are viruses referred to as obligate fuasites?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.

Explanation:

Viruses are parasitic organisms that need a host in order to thrive and reproduce. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means being restricted to a specific mode or function in life. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to reproduction. It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.
