Land Use, Mining, and Fossil Fuels

What is not one of the main causes of deforestation?

• Logging

• Agriculture

• Urbanization

• Erosion and landslide Control

How does mining affect the environment?

• Mining has no impact on the environment.

• Mining can lead to deforestation, habitat destruction, soil erosion, water pollution, air pollution, and climate change.

• Mining actually improves the environment.

• Mining only affects the environment in a positive way.
