Question

Which of the following is not an environmental impact of resource extraction?

a. loss of soil
b. increased resource supply
c. water contamination
d. loss of vegetation

Answer 1

Well, base word for extraction is extract which means to take away. The only thing on this list That does not take away is B.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - b. increased resource supply.

Increased resource supply is not falling into the category of environmental impact, in fact, if anything the increase in resource supply will just amplify the consequences towards the environment and contribute to even more serious problems because that will require more soil to be destroyed, more vegetation to be cleared, and more water to be contaminated.
