Typical examples of this type of mining are the larger tonnage coal mining

typically arriving after the first one hits. Given the shape of the underwater shore‚ significant amounts of water get pushed upward and higher at the coast‚ allowing the tidal water to flow higher than it normally would. Anything that is loose on the ground gets swept up and bounced around like cork. Because water is so heavy as a mass‚ it can move cars‚ wood‚ metal‚ cement‚ and debris. All of this material with the force of water acts as a grinding catalyst on anything else that gets hit next by the

pollution. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal‚ or oil. When fossil fuels are burned they give off a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane is naturally in the ground. When coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well. Another major man-made cause of Global Warming is population. More people means more food‚ and more methods of transportation

Yamuna is one of the most polluted rivers in the world‚ especially around Delhi‚ which dumps about 57% of its waste into the river. Delhi alone contributes around 3‚296 million litres per day of sewage in the river. Even the the Supreme Court Justice B.S. hauhan‚ sitting in a bench‚ headed by Chief Justice K.G.

are required to follow environmental and rehabilitation codes‚ ensuring the area mined is returned to close to its original state. Some mining methods may have significant environmental and public health effects. Erosion of exposed hillsides‚ mine dumps‚ tailings dams and resultant siltation of drainages‚ creeks and rivers can significantly impact the surrounding areas‚ a prime example being the giant Ok Tedi Minein Papua New Guinea. In areas of wilderness mining may cause destruction and disturbance

They can almost always be found around fishing boats‚ picnic grounds‚ parking lots and garbage dumps. Many people consider the gull to be a nuisance‚ but they actually perform a very valuable service. They are garbage men (sanitation engineers for the politically correct) with wings. They scavenge up great numbers of dead animals
