Rocks and minerals activity Reflection questions:

1. Describe the ways mining in the real world can affect society, ecosystems, and the environment of a specific region.
2. Using your answers to the question above, list the criteria you believe should be addressed by land reclamation. Prioritize your criteria by order of importance. Explain the order you selected for your criteria.
3. Complete redamation of mined land is the solution you practiced in this cookie mining lab. What reasoning supports this solution as one that will provide the largest benefits and least costs to society and the environment ?
4. Legislation requiring the reclamation of the land makes mining more expensive. How important is this constraint to achieving complete reclamation of mined land?

1. Across the world, mining contributes to erosion, sinkholes, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, significant use of water resources, dammed rivers and ponded waters, wastewater disposal issues, acid mine drainage and contamination of soil, ground and surface water, all of which can lead to health issues in local.. 2.Mining in the real world can affect society, ecosystems, and the environment of a specific  region because all the minerals that you are looking for won't be right where you want them to be. It is not going to be in the same area. Instead, it will be scattered throughout the mines and you will have to search for them. 3.Students act as mining engineers and simulate ore mining production by using chocolate chip cookies. They focus on the cost-benefit analysis of the chocolate ore production throughout the simulation, which helps them understand the cost of production. As students “mine” with tools such as paperclips and toothpicks, they keep records of their costs—land (cookie), equipment used, cookie size before and after production, and time spent. While the goal is to make as much profit as possible, other costs and goals are taken into consideration—as in real-world mining engineering. For example, mining engineers also consider the resulting amount of destruction to the lithosphere when deciding the best method to obtain ore. Thus, a line item for land reclamation cost is included from the beginning. A provided worksheet serves as a profit and loss statement. 4.Mine reclamation is the process of restoring land that has been mined to a natural or economically usable state. Although the process of mine reclamation occurs once mining is completed, the planning of mine reclamation activities occurs prior to a mine being permitted or started.

i don't have a explanation but i hope this helps
