One risk for accessing carbon from the ground is that it may cause soil contamination. Soil when exposed to large amount of gases and other organically decaying materials can absorb these into their make-up. Fossil fuels are extracted from the ground through drilling processes. When the drilling is unsuccessful, pockets created within the soil can create areas for contamination. When soil is contaminated by fossil fuels, it can no longer be use for agricultural purposes.

Which formation is the result of wind erosion?

Dovator [93]

Of the following given choices;

A. glacial erratics B. U-shaped valleys C. unusually shaped rocks D. mudslides.

The answer is; C.

The wind carries soil particles is it blows. These soil particle hit on rocks in their path and over time gradually erode the rocks. An example of this type of erosion is the aeolian process. Usually the bottom o the rock is eroded more than the top. This is because the bottom is hit by larger soil particles that are heavier to carry by the wind. An example of rock formed in this process is attached in the picture below.
