Question

How does mineral processing degrades the land ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mineral processing, art of treating crude ores and mineral products in order to separate the valuable minerals from the waste rock, or gangue

Explanation:

Mineral processing like grinding of limestone for cement industry, and calcite and soapstone for ceramic industries generates heavy amount of dust and releases it in the atmosphere. It later on settles down in the surrounding areas, affecting infiltration of water and crop cultivation.

For mining, earth is dug, and before this, all the forest cover in that region is destroyed, and thus, it makes the soil loose leading to land degradation. Over-irrigation makes the soil clayey and dampy, thus leading to land degradation.

Hey mate....

Here is your answer;

1] Mining sites are abandoned after excavation work is completed leaving deep scars and traces of over burdening.

2] The mineral processing like grinding for limestone for cement industry and calcite

and soapstone for ceramic industry generate large quantity of dust in the atmosphere.

3] In the states of Punjab and Haryana over irrigation is responsible for degradation due to water logging leading to increase

in salinity and alkalinity in the soil.

4] In states like Madhya Pradesh and Orissa deforestation due to mining have caused severe Land degradation.

I hope it helps you....
