What effects does Mining have on the enviornment? For scince homework not my... Care :P

Physical: Holes and spoil heaps.
Pollution: Rivers, soil, air.

Exact details will differ depending on what is being mined, methos and scale.

what, where and how?

[jake-the-peg]

Don't forget mining takes a lot of energy - a lot of fuel burnt a lot of electricity used directly and indirectly such as in the production of things like explosives.

That results in a lot of CO2
