A consequence of strip mining that produces sulfuric acid and can harm living things? A.) acid drainage B.)Fossil fuel use C.)Energy conservation D.)Pollution

A consequence of strip mining that produces sulfuric acid and can harm living things is "acid drainage".

Option: A

Explanation:

The outflow of acidic water from a mining site is simply understood as acid mine drainage. It is the surface water contaminant in the mid-Atlantic region at present, get generated when water flows through sulfur-bearing materials which form net acidity situations. Here acid comes basically from oxidation of iron sulfide .

AMD is manufactured primarily from abandoned coal mines, and is currently being used in mining. It is a global issue, contributing to environmental degradation of watersheds and pollution of human water supplies by sulfuric acid and heavy metals like copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As).

in 1859, charles darwin set out his theory of evolution by natural selection as an explanation for adaptation and speciation. he defined natural selection as the "principle by which each slight variation [of a trait], if useful, is preserved".

on island x the species needed to adapt because they were being subject to predators which didn't inhabit island y.
