The correct answer is C. Geosphere-Hydrosphere-Biosphere

Explanation:

The geosphere refers to the materials in and under the surface it such as rocks, minerals, among others that are part of the Earth. On the other hand, the hydrosphere covers all water bodies such as rivers, oceans, waterfalls, etc. And the biosphere includes all forms of life.

In this way, in the case presented, there is an interaction between the Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere as the gold extracted and the use of mercury to extract this belong to the Geosphere, additionally the streams and bodies that were contaminated belong to the Hydrosphere and the animals and people affected by this situation are part of the Biosphere.

Mining and petroleum activities affecting land and vegetation, how?​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1. Mining.

Mining affects the land by creating loss of biodiversity, sinkholes, mudslides and contamination. That’s just a few affects mining can have on the land.

2. Petroleum.

The main risk that happens when extracting petroleum are oil spills. Some of the worst oil spills in history have caused major fires, explosions, and contamination in the area where they are at. What’s worse is that innocent little animals get caught in those oil spills and die.

Hope this helps and pls mark me brainliest if it did :)
