Sinkholes one major environmental risk of underground mining because, Underground mines may collapse after mining is complete, which causes sinkholes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The movement that occurs on the surface of the ground is known as mine subsidence. This is mainly caused due to the collapse that happens in the cola or any clay mining works that occurs in the underground surface. When anything is extracted form the underground surface, some holes are made in the underground surface which are sinkholes.

The damages that are caused as a result of this can be claimed by  Mine Subsidence Insurance Policy. This type of underground mining is very dangerous as it give rise to the formation of sinkholes. This is forms when there is collapsing of the surfaces in the underground occurs after the completion of the mining work.

iris [78.8K]

Answer& explanation:

The mechanism of action of chloramphenicol can be explained as follows:

Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting the protein synthesis of the bacteria, thus having bacteriostatic action (inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing their proliferation).

In addition, chloramphenicol can be bactericidal (destroys bacteria) when in high concentrations, or when used against highly sensitive microorganisms, such as <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. The mechanism of action for these bacteria, however, is not yet elucidated.
