Which of the following concerning mining processes is NOT correct? Mining processes accumulate a large amount of
overburden that can eventually pollute waterways Health hazards, oil spills, and soil degradation are all
side effects of mining Mining processes depend o the renewable resources
found within the earth’s lithosphere The exploration, extraction, and transportation of the
resources decreases the available net energy Mining resources are used in the construction of
roads and buildings

Which of the following statements about harvesting minerals from the ocean is true? Resources harvested from continental shelf may increase
the concentration of cyanobacteria in the water column It is economically feasible to harvest manganese modules
from the ocean floor because they reform within one year Diamonds, bromine, and titanium can be economically
harvested from black smokers The continental shelf is a source of sand, gravel,
phosphates, and platinum Harvesting minerals from the oceans is cheaper than
mining on and due to ease of separating most minerals from seawater
