Top soil, whether through wind or water is going to end up somewhere else so there is going to be desertification until primary succession takes place.

This is bad for the environment because the heavy metals and acids can seep into streams and causes an increase in pH. Products like iron oxide can increase in turbidity and leave the water looking like an red orange color.]]> 2021-01-27 20:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1dcgilber11/xa991px2btkeuob0/wish/1133731754 gwashb5160 https://padlet.com/1dcgilber11/xa991px2btkeuob0/wish/1133731918 the mining equipment often requires fossil fuels, when these are burned you are creating greenhouse gases, along with any impurities in the fossil fuels are being released into the environment.]]> 2021-01-27 20:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1dcgilber11/xa991px2btkeuob0/wish/1133731918 https://padlet.com/1dcgilber11/xa991px2btkeuob0/wish/1133732580 A mining area will lack vegetation because of subsoil from soil erosion.
