Answer: c. the complete loss of plant life in the area occupied by the surface mine.

Open pit mining is a mining process that involves mining of earth surface, instead of underground layers. It is also, known as strip mining. It is done to extract ore and fossil fuels from the surface of earth. An open pit mining removes the subsurface soil along with vegetation growing on that surface.The mining site exhibits the mining pits, the soil in these pits changes constantly due to erosion. The soil looses it's fertility. This converts the mining site into a barren land.

Therefore, the complete loss of plant life in the area occupied by the surface mine is the most likely consequences of open pit mining on plant life.

The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.
