The quest for valuable minerals often leads us deep into the Earth's crust, but the act of extraction—mining—carries with it the potential for significant environmental impact. One of the most critical concerns is the effect of mining on soil quality, a resource essential for agriculture, ecosystem stability, and overall environmental health.
Atmosphere: Pollutes the air with dust. This affects wildlife and creates poor air quality in the area. When coal is burned it releases many harmful chemicals into the air, such as methane (greenhouse gas) and contributes to global warming Biosphere: Destroys plant and animal habitats (kills plants, destroys resources that animals use) and causes animals to leave …
