The rocks containing the minerals are dug up using the open cast method and crushed using large grinders. The crushed rock is then mixed with chemicals to separate fluorspar from rock wastes.]]> 2023-02-22 17:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491519276 Implications of mining fluorspar to the environment valentinechelangat https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491524344 Mining negatively impacts the land. After mining has occured the top soil of the minning pit has been removed leaving the land bare. Once the top fertile soil has been removed the soul is left infertile and it cannot be used in agriculture. It is also prone to soil erosion due to the lack of vegetation cover on the soil.]]> 2023-02-22 17:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491524344 consumption of fluorspar. doreenkhayeri https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491525362 fluorspar is used to manufacture products such as aluminium, gasoline, insulating foams, refrigerants, steel, and uranium fuel.
 Fluorspar is also used in making cement and casting iron and steel.]]> 2023-02-22 17:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491525362 How do the resources extraction and consumption influence development. doreenkhayeri https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491526537 fluorspar can be used to promote development when exporting occurs between two countries earning foreign exchange for the selling country and industrial development for the country buying. This is because fluorspar can be used in different industries such as the cement industry, iron and steel industry et cetera.]]> 2023-02-22 17:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491526537 Impact on economic development josephnyamai https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491565457 When the fluorspar is mined it is exported to other countries which encourages international trAde whiCh helps in the economic development of Kenya. It provides jobs for people who are working in the mines which helps in improving status of living and the government gathers a lot of money from the taxes they have put in place for the workers.]]> 2023-02-22 18:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2491565457 Impact on social development morgannjau https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2492058271 Flourspar can cause the following effects to the people when its mined.
1. Displacement of people living in areas that the mineral is present. E.G 4329 people who were displaced in Kerio valley.
2. The health of the people will be affected because of the gases being produced. This may lead to some number of deaths.w]]> 2023-02-23 04:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2492058271 Explain how the resource can be consumed sustainably to ensure its security in the future. abigailpendo https://padlet.com/morgannjau/8105a68yzgk6zzjh/wish/2492136203 Recycling and reusing are highly encouraged when discussing the sustainability of fluorspar. This reduces the increase in the overexploitation of the mineral resource. Moreover, reusing fluorspar rather than mining and reprocessing them has the least environmental impact.

Furthermore, redesigning manufacturing processes to use less/ little fluorspar and to produce less pollution and waste is effective. The least amount of fluorspar used the least waste produced. The least amount of minerals used leads to a reduction in overexploitation. the reduction in overexploitation leads to the ability of future generations to find fluorspar.
