alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The correct option is: C) light-minute, Astronomical Unit, light-year

Explanation:

In cosmology, the distance between the objects in the universe is measured by using units such as light year, light-minute, and astronomical unit.

Here, 1 Light minute ≅ 1.8x 10¹⁰ m

1 Astronomical Unit (au) ≅ 1.49 x 10¹¹ m

1 Light year (ly) ≅ 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

Now, arranging the units in ascending order: light-minute, Astronomical Unit, light-year.

Minerales-

Los efectos ambientales de la minería pueden ocurrir a escala local, regional y global a través de prácticas mineras directas e indirectas. Los efectos pueden resultar en erosión, hundimientos, pérdida de biodiversidad o la contaminación del suelo, las aguas subterráneas y superficiales por los productos químicos emitidos por los procesos mineros. Estos procesos también afectan a la atmósfera por las emisiones de carbono que tienen un efecto sobre la calidad de la salud humana y la biodiversidad. Algunos métodos de extracción (extracción de litio, extracción de fosfato, extracción de carbón, extracción de remoción de montañas y extracción de arena) pueden tener efectos ambientales y de salud pública tan significativos que las empresas mineras en algunos países deben seguir estrictos códigos ambientales y de rehabilitación para garantizar que la extracción área vuelve a su estado original.
