Such resources mined up are coal, copper, gold, silver, and sand. However, mining poses environmental risks that can degrade the quality of soil and water, which can end up effecting us humans if not taken care of and many of the damages are irreversible once they have occurred. On mining some of the soil can affect the quality of the water because of those chemicals will be mix on the water flowing in a river and the result is water pollution. Also excessive mining can cause landslides during calamities because the soils are not that strong to hold and support the trees that may fall. So, let’s practice on how to conserve using the minerals that we use every day. Use the 3R’s to preserve the other minerals that may use to prevent mineral exploitation.
