The following statements about mining is true: Mining allows useful minerals to be extracted from the Earth. Correct answer:D
Mining has a large impact on the environment because minerals are contained within the Earth. The long term effects of mining include acid drainage
, erosion
and dust emissions.
Hydraulic fracturing using high pressure liquids to break rocks can be used to access deep reservoirs of <u>crude oil. </u>
<h3>What is the use of hydraulic fracturing?</h3>
In a process known as fracking, hydraulic fracturing is done when a fluid is injected into rocks far below the surface.
The aim of this process is to get the rocks to break apart which would then allow the deep reserves of oil to be accessed. This is a major process of crude oil production in the United States.

Hello. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To produce electricity for a city in a developed country, photovoltaic solar farms would need to occupy a large amount of land, as the demand for electricity in developed cities is very high and this would require a high production of solar energy. The occupation of such a large piece of land could hinder the sustainability of the region and of this energy production system. This is because the occupation of large areas of land could promote the destruction of habitats, deforestation and water and soil pollution due to the hazardous materials that are used to build solar panels, such as lead, gallium arsenide, diselenide from copper-indium-gallium, among others. This would cause the production of a non-polluting type of energy, causing pollution due to its installation.
The transform fault boundaries are not having the same characteristics as the convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The movement at the convergent and divergent plate boundaries is caused by pressure from below, thus vertical one, and also when they collide one of them moves diagonally downwards, or rather subducts. That leaves gaps at the plate boundaries and big cracks through which the magma can penetrate. At the transform boundaries it is a different situation. The plates engaged in this type of boundary are neither moving away from each other, nor they are colliding, but instead they slide past each other. By sliding past each other, the plates actually close in any gap that might have enables for magma to come out on the surface, so we don't see volcanoes along this type of boundaries. What is typical about the transform plate boundaries is the formation of faults that form because of the stress, and are parallel to the boundary.
