The land that has been destroyed due to mining activity is called subsidence land.

EXPLANATION:

Mining activities cause vertical or lateral ground movements that lead to the sinking of the land suddenly or gradual downward ground surface settling. Mining activities like sub-surface mining, pillar extraction, metalliferous mining may lead to sudden caving or block caving or sub-level caving causing surface subsidence mostly localized above the mined areas.

Sinkhole subsidence is one type of land subsidence. Overburden mining activities lead to caving in and sinkhole formation on the surface. Land subsidence also causes groundwater depletion.

Subsidence can be measured by GPS and radar systems. This destroys both soil and hydrologic environment of the earth. Processes like grouting, backfilling, and other ground treatments can help prevent and reduce mining subsidence.
