Reading: Causes of Soil Erosion The agents of soil erosion are the same as the agents of all types of erosion: water, wind, ice, or gravity Running water is the leading cause of soil erosion, because water is abundant and has a lot of power , This coal mine in West ia covers more than 10,000 acres (156 square miles) Some of the ....
Soil retrogression and degradation are two regressive evolution processes associated with the loss of equilibrium of a stable soilRetrogression is primarily due to soil erosion and corresponds to a phenomenon where succession reverts the land to its natural physical state Degradation is an evolution, different from natural evolution, related to the local climate and vegetation...
Environmental impacts of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practic Impacts can result in erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by the chemicals emitted from mining process These processes also have an impact on the atmosphere from the emissions of carbon which have ....
Health problems due to mining: 1) The toxicity of metal can cause problems due to mercury, fluorine and also arsenic These metals enter the food chain and affect all the animals in suit 2) Mining also cause lung defects like Pneumoconiosis which is due to the inhalation of coal and other dust particles in the process of mining...
Land Degradation Land degradation is defined as the temporary or permanent decline in the productive capacity of the land, and the diminution of the productive potential, including its major land uses (eg, rain-fed arable, irrigation, forests), its farming systems (eg, smallholder subsistence), and its value as an economic resource...
Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land It is viewed as any change or disturbance to the land perceived to be deleterious or undesirable Natural hazards are excluded as a cause; however human activities can indirectly affect phenomena such as floods and bush fir...
However, there is nearly universal consensus that degradation can be defined as a reduction in productivity of the land or soil due to human activity (Holm et al, 2003, Kniivila, 2004, Oldeman et al, 1990) Yet studies focus on temporal and spatial scales of this process that differ, which leads to much confusion when interpreting the results...
