Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or

other geological materials from the Earth,


usually from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, reef,
or placer deposit. These deposits form a
mineralized commodity that is of economic
interest to the miner.
Mining causes disasters in our environment
because underground hydrogeological
conditions include both surface water and
groundwater. Landslides caused by massive
extraction of mineral resources destroy water
and water systems, resulting in landslides and
increased surface runoff. It also contributes to
plane crashes, sinkholes, deforestation, loss of
biodiversity, significant use of water resources,
restricting rivers and waterlogged rivers,
wastewater disposal issues, acid mine drainage
and contamination. of soil, soil and surface
water, all of which can lead to local health
issues.
