The environmental consequence of strip mining on water is toxic material left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

WHAT IS STRIP MINING:

  • Strip mining is the process of extracting ore by removing the soil and rock that overlays the mineral ore.

  • Strip mining is a commonly used extraction method for coal. It is however, used for ores that are close to the surface of the soil or rock to be removed.

  • Strip mining, however, has detrimental effects on consumed water and environment as a whole because toxic materials left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

What steps do you take to make a good science fair project?
Irina-Kira [14]

   Pick a topic.

   Research.

   Hypothesis.

   Experiment.

   Construct an exhibit for results.

   Write a report.

   Practice presenting.

Pick something you are interested in, something you'd like to think about and know more about

Then do some background research on the topic.

Decide whether you can state a hypothesis related to the topic (that is, a cause and effect statement that you can test), and follow the strict method listed above, or whether you will just observe something.

Design and carry out your research, keeping careful records of everything you do or see and your results or observations.

Construct an exhibit or display to show and explain to others what you hoped to test.

Write a short report that also states the same things as the exhibit or display, and also gives the sources of your background research.

Practice describing your project and results, so you will be ready for visitors to your exhibit at the science fair.

Isolating all of the RNA out of an organism, subjecting it to reverse transcriptase, and then cloning all of the resulting DNA i
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The example process given in the question is describing the creating of a cDNA Library. cDNA or Complimentary DNA is copy of the DNA that is taken from a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is what is done with the reverse transcriptase. And the process described as cloning the resulting DNA into plasmids is the part where the library is created. The resulting DNA is put into host organisms and stored there for further investigation or use.

I hope this answer helps.

Which best describes the limits of science?
vichka [17]

A. Science cannot answer philosophical questions. Philosophical questions could be described as rheoretical questions, such as "what is the purpose of life?" These questions' answers can very from person to person. Science answers questions such as "what is the boiling point of water?", or "what is the chemical structure of water? These are both questions that have the same answer, no matter who is asking them. You just have to have the ability to accurately measure and observe the things involved, or in this case, the temperature of the water when it starts to boil or whe different atoms in the water.

Let's examine the other questions.

B. science can answer only mathematical questions. As you saw in the explanation above, science can also answer other questions, as long as they have a definite answer that we can accurately measure.

C.Science can answer any questions. Again, we have already saw that science cannot answer philosophical questions, so science cannot answer any question.

D. Science can answer any difficult questions. As with the example of the chemical stucture of water, we can answer difficult questions with science. This may seem simple to you, but it would be very difficult if it was not already known!
