Which of the following show how mining for materials used in smart devices impacts the environment select three

-increases child labor

-grows the economy

-degrades vegetation

-creates competition for water

-increases soil erosion

its obviously not child labor or economy based because those have nothing to do with the environment so its the other three.

-degrades vegetation

-increases soil erosion

-creates competition for water

Explanation:

There are many environmental impacts caused by mining, economic and industrial activity that consists in the research, exploration, extraction and processing of ores present in underground deposits. The same is true of mining for materials used in smart devices. This human activity destroys nature and creates very damaging ecological imbalances that diminishes the quality of life not only for humans but for all living beings.

Mining causes pollution of water resources by decreasing the amount of drinking water and increasing competition for water in some places. In addition, it causes soil degradation through erosion and causes loss of diversity by degrading vegetation and animal life.
