Quarries are temporary, but their environmental impacts are forever. Quarries are created by removing topsoil, followed by drilling and blasting to extract minerals and sedimentary rocks. Roads and other facilities are also created to support mining operations, such as transport. Every stage of a quarry's life cycle comes at an …
