The gusts can also reach up to 80 mph (128 km/h) as the winds come down the mountains and pass over the plains. When the warm, dry, fast-moving Chinook winds pass over snow-covered areas, the snow often vaporizes before it has a chance to melt, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

What environmental impacts are caused by both surface mining and underground mining? Select the two correct answers.
UkoKoshka [18]

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.

N what ways does South Africa's history of Apartheid remind you of our own history of Segregation and Racism in the U.S.A.?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Apartheid was an official policy of racial segregation in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Although racial segregation and discrimination arose earlier, after the 1948 general election, people were divided into classes by law: black, white, colored, and Asian. People of different skin colors who had lived together so far were separated, and two infrastructures were set up in the country, one for whites and the other for blacks.

This situation was clearly similar to that of the racial segregation that took place in the southern United States from the end of the Civil War until the 1960s, through which the Democratic governments of the southern states segregated African-American populations from their territories, relegating them to a citizenship of inferior conditions, with worse public services and a general lack of rights compared to those of whites.
