Answer:

A. Volcanic activity

Explanation:

The volcanic activity is the process that creates the new minerals on the planet. In this process, the magma from the mantle rises toward the surface. Some magma solidifies inside the crust, while some on the surface, though then its called lava. Be it inside the crust, or on the surface, it is always a large amount of magma or lava that comes to a certain area, causing the formation of certain minerals, and they are in high concentration. The magma and the lava manage to cover large areas, either pushing aside old rocks, or covering them with thick layers, thus resulting in monotonous high concentrated certain types of minerals in some areas.

Answer:

B. local water contamination

D. destruction of ecosystems

Explanation:

The mining, be it a surface one or underground one, has several negative impacts on the surrounding area. Two common negative impacts of both types of mining are contamination of the local waters, as well as the destruction of ecosystems.

The waters get heavily polluted with toxic chemicals pretty much always ad everywhere where there is mining. The main reason for this is that the nus-products from the mining are released into the waters. This causes high level pollution of the waters, thus making it not good for anything, and the aquatic life in the waters dies out rapidly.

The fact that the waters are heavily polluted means that everything that comes in touch with them becomes heavily polluted as well. Also, apart from releasing chemicals in the waters, the mining requires space, so the area is cleared out, and after that lot of toxic material is disposed on it. The majority of the plants can sustain that, so they die out, and since they are the basis of the ecosystems, the animals die out as well.
