This is a hazard where water overflows and puts part of low-level land underwater. These can go very far, and can have differing depths.

• Earthquakes

• Tsunamis

• Hydrological Hazards

• Floods

This is an environmental impact of mining that can be produced in volumetric amounts and can carry chemicals and toxic metals. They can contaminate soil and water.

• Heavy Metals

• Dust

• Destruction of Habitats

• Contamination of Soil and Water

These are natural phenomenons that are caused by water processes and can cause damage to economic assets, humans and their livelihoods, and more.

• Geological Hazards

• Tsunamis

• Natural Hazards

• Hydrological Hazards

These can be caused by many factors, such as land alterations, contamination due to the pollutants, and soil erosion. Due to these, land can be lifeless and barren.

• Soil Erosion

• Contamination of Soil and Water

• Destruction of Habitats

• Loss of Valuable Land

This is a hazard that happens when two tectonic plates crash to each other and either break or snap. This can be felt as sudden vibrations and can change geological features.

• Tsunamis

• Volcanic Eruptions

• Earthquakes

• Landslides

This is a long-term change that also influences the frequency and severity of hurricanes, floods, and droughts.

• Climate Change

• Weather Change

• Typhoons

• Meteorological Hazards

This is an environmental impact of mining that is supposed to be an ongoing natural process, but has been hastened by mining. These can cause acid run-offs and the contamination of soil and water.

• Weathering

• Soil Erosion

• Dust

• Contamination of Soil and Water

This is a way of extracting minerals from the ground. It has many types, and the acquired minerals can range from coal to diamonds.

• Mining

• Oil drilling

• Tree cutting

• Pasteurizing

This is a type of hazard that is caused by tectonic processes located underground. The processes involved can result to massive changes on land.

• Hydrological Hazards

• Natural Hazards

• Geological Hazards

• Earthquakes

This is an environmental impact in which land can no longer be used for valuable purposes due to alteration or contamination due to mining.

• Loss of Valuable Land

• Dust

• Mining

• Destruction of Habitats
