i need help too someone give us answers
M IS WRONG DI NOT LISTEN the correct answers are mineral it removes water and it could cause faults to be less stable resulting in earthquakes
The correct answer is subsidence. Subsidence refers to the sinking of the Earth's surface when large amounts of water are extracted from an aquifer. This happens because the removal of water from underground reservoirs creates empty spaces that were previously filled with water, causing the overlying ground to settle or sink. This sinking can cause significant damage to infrastructure, such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. It is important to manage aquifer extraction in a sustainable manner to avoid subsidence and its negative impacts.
1: aquifer
2: silt
3: subsidence
4: It adds pollution to wells
5: It could transform Canada into a complete desert.
