Answer:

Mining in the United States has been active since the beginning of colonial times, but became a major industry in the 19th century with a number of new mineral discoveries causing a series of mining rushes. In 2015, the value of coal, metals, and industrial minerals mined in the United States was US $109.6 billion. 158,000 workers were directly employed by the mining industry.[1]

The mining industry has a number of impacts on communities, individuals and the environment. Mine safety incidents have been important parts of American occupational safety and health history. Mining has a number of environmental impacts. In the United States, issues like mountaintop removal, and acid mine drainage have widespread impacts on all parts of the environment. As of January 2020. the EPA lists 142 mines in the Superfund program.[2]

In western societies, the typical family form is the _____, composed of married parents and their biological or adopted children

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Nuclear family.

Explanation:

A nuclear family typically composes of a husband and wife (married parents) with kids (whether biological or adopted).

While nuclear families percentage has been on a decline through history, it is still the dominant form of family, making up ~18% of all households in more current US history. The downward shift can be attributed to the shift of beliefs against the nuclear family, in which new cultures such as hookup culture and the destruction of traditional masculinity and femininity traits have led to the failure of the man to stay to provide, and causing the single-parent family to spike drastically. The uptick in LGBTQ+ have further led to the deflation of nuclear family levels, and have seen a decline of birthrate by 2-4%.On top of decline in birthrates, families outside of the nuclear family typically see a large percentage of increase in crimes, with single-parent homes seeing a 10% increase for the child to commit crimes. When people think of non-nuclear families, they typically think of the LGBTQ+ movement, which sees a 5% incarceration rate, 2 points higher than the average population.

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

Although Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Ron Artest credited therapeutic support for some of his court performance, some critics and media outlets took that as evidence that he was insane.

On the flip side: It would be insane for professional athletes like Artest not to receive help from professionals like sport psychologists.

Although usually trainers concentrate on the physical aspect of competition, sport psychologists concentrate on the minds of the athletes.

Sport psychologists can help athletes — both professionals and amateurs alike — attain their objectives.
