Things that happen when land is cleared for mining and drilling are:

<h3>What happens when land is cleared for mining?</h3>
Local vegetation will be damaged and removed by the clearing of the land which would lead to animals leaving the area to find newer food sources to replace the cleared plants.
There will also be an increase in flooding because the removal of plants affects the ability of water to be absorbed by soil.
