Question

What problems do gemstone miners face in mountains.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Environmental problems associated with colored gemstone mining include deforestation, soil erosion and sedimentation. Small-scale miners often cut trees and burn brush, both for site access, and to harvest building materials for mine shafts and

shelters. Mining often destroys land once used for agriculture and miners often hunt wildlife for sustenance. Gemstone mining fouls waterways with dust and waste rock. "is sedimentation creates physical impediments to water how that can kill sh and other aquatic organisms. Heavy usage of water for separating stones from waste rock causes land subsidence. Water pumps, drills and other machinery use fuels that contribute to climate change.
