Answer:

Some of the reasons that prove mining is responsible for land degradation are as follows:

a) After the excavation toil, mining sites are deserted which leaves disfigurements and tracks down overburdening.  

b) Mining leads to deforestation, which further leads to massive land degradation.

c) It slowdowns the infiltration of water into the soil.  

d) The mineral processes leave a substantial amount of residue and dust in the atmosphere.  

e) Over-irrigation in certain areas causes water-logging and makes the soil more alkaline, therefore, causing the land to degrade.
