Geology and Earth Resources by Rachel Andrea Nathania Setia Budi https://padlet.com/racheldrea/avcvwonvox44wjtx “We live in a society exquisitely depen-dent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.”– Carl Sagan en-us 2020-09-12 01:58:49 UTC 2020-09-24 07:06:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Geology and Earth Resources racheldrea https://padlet.com/racheldrea/avcvwonvox44wjtx/wish/740663024 2020-09-12 02:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/racheldrea/avcvwonvox44wjtx/wish/740663024 The Processes that Shape the Earth and its Resources racheldrea https://padlet.com/racheldrea/avcvwonvox44wjtx/wish/740663377 1. Moving Mountains for Coal. Mountain Top Removal mining (MTR) is the term used for this 
approach so they can scoop out the coal.
2. Convection in the earth’s  mantle causes tectonic plate movement, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
The three phenomenas caused rocks and minerals are recycled constantly since earthquake shakes the earth and volcanoes spurt out magma and its minerals from the earth core. There are 3 types of rocks which are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic based on how they are made.

Specific Technique that is used for mining (exapmple: open-pit, underground,etc.) caused different risks to water and air.
Metal is extracted by smelting or chemical extraction.Both  processes  release  large  quantities  of  toxic materials that  can  be  even more environmentally hazardous  than  mining.  
The value of minerals and the cost of cleanup lead to conflict over these resources.

4. 1. Earthquakes are sudden movements in the earth’s crust that occur along  faults (planes of weakness) where one plate slides past  
another. The tectonic movement from the earthquake can trigger flood or even tsunami.
2. Volcanoes eject gas and ash, as well as lava. Nuées ardentes (French for “glowing clouds”) are deadly, denser-than-air mixtures of hot gases and ash like those that inundated Pompeii and Herculaneum.
3. Landslides and mass wasting can bury villages. mass wasting or mass movement, in which geological materials are moved downslope from one place to another caused by gravity.
4. Floods are the greatest geological hazard.
5. Beaches erode easily, especially in storms.
