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.
Answer:
The sun
Explanation:
The sun drives the water cycle. The sun evaporates water from the oceans, seas, lakes and other bodies of water and also from plants through the process of transpiration. The evaporated water then forms into clouds and when it gains enough mass it falls back to Earth. This is a closed system so that means that this is the same amount of water that has always been present on Earth.
Answer:
To deplete freshwater consumption of the water must be greater than the renewal rate. If the precipitation collected it does not mean it depleted, it can be still used later on.
