Surface mining

Clearing of vegetation and cutting down of trees to make room for extracting the minerals from the ground to the earth surface has led to diverse effects such as erosion of the top soil as well as loss of biodiversity. People living in such areas also complain of earth tremors and other heath related issues such as asthma and problems with their hearing due to the noise of…

of the upper mantle and come through the volcano to the earth’s surface pipe under exactly the right conditions. They fairly quick ascend with exactly steady condition of pressure and temperature. The volcano’s name was “Kimberly pipe” because the people who were there quoted the city’s name, where the volcano was found, and Kimberly pipe was delivering a stream of diamonds to the earth’s surface. Later on, Kimberly established a mining town in 1873, and prospectors arrived by the thousands in…

extrusive rocks. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed due to the cooling of the molten lava inside of the earth. Granite is the best example of the intrusive igneous rocks. Extrusive Igneous rocks are formed due to the cooling of the molten lava on the surface of the earth. Basalt is the best example of extrusive igneous rocks. Sandstone is an example of sedimentary rocks. Due to the heat and pressure Igneous and sedimentary rocks are converted into metamorphic rocks, limestone is the example of…

being done to understand how heavy metals are distributed in the soils surrounding Tar Creek. Heavy metals have harmful effects on human health, especially in young people. Mine drainage and multi-story high chat piles left behind in the Tri-state mining district contaminate local Oklahoma waterways, including Tar Creek, with elements such as lead and zinc. Using flood maps of Tar Creek to select sites to analyze. 30m transect lines were laid on each side of the creek and soil cores were taken…

landscape below. As the craft escaped the boundaries of the atmosphere, the flames quickly subsided, revealing an unobstructed view of the surface below. Although, the rocky terrain of Acadia 4’s surface was easily apparent from space; the distilled focus of its binary stars and transparent sky enhanced the texture of the crust to immeasurable detail. The surface was littered with billions of bluish gray rocks, their dominion only being disturbed by the occasional presence…

terraforming, much of Duna is uninhabitable for the majority of the project. Another threat for terraforming is the potential for interstellar travel to become increasingly more viable. Instead of having to considerably change a world to live on the surface, colonists may instead have to wear minimal gear even when they land, and only a little effort may be required to make the planet fully habitable. As a result, the terraforming project may become an invalid white elephant before it even…

Uranium is a very heavy metal, which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy. The problem is that why do we think nuclear power is good? And why not use wood or coal or something other that nuclear power. Science has identified this issue when they monitored how much resources we use and we have to understand how we won’t run out of resources. This issue affects us because one day we will run out of resources such as coal gas or oil and it will lead to a difficult like which…
