Answer: They lead to contaminated groundwater / water supplies and can cause erosion, sinkholes, and landslides.

Explanation: Chemicals in tailing piles could leach into the soil and contaminate the groundwater. This could negatively impact the water supply for any surrounding towns or cities. Also, tailing piles can cause erosion, sinkholes, and landslides since there are no trees or plants there to hold the sediments in place with their roots.

1. Is there more than one type of memory?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

there are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. ... But, our minds also possess sensory and short-term memory. Not all memories are the same; the different types function in different ways.Long-term memory is usually divided into two types—explicit and implicit. ... Explicit memory can be further divided into episodic memory (specific events) and semantic memory (knowledge about the world).Photographic memory is a term often used to describe a person who seems able to recall visual information in great detail. Just as a photograph freezes a moment in time, the implication for people thought to have photographic memory is that they can take mental snapshots and then recall these snapshots without error.Scientists are still unsure about this question. Researchers say that animals, non-humans, do not have a true language like humans. However they do communicate with each other through sounds and gestures. ... But they slowly learn the words of the language and use this as form of communication.

First Kiss

This event happened " (Year/ Date Here) " and it is important because " (Some semi-important truth) " and because of it I am a different person.

This event type is " " by" (Piaget, Kohlberg, or Erikson) " 's concept of " ".

Also, based on what you have learned in the past, the sentence with the bullet next to is what type of concept and who created it.
