Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of subsidence, which occurs when vast underground areas created by mining operations cause the earth's surface to sink. The author provides an in-depth examination of the historical incidences of surface subsidence and its impact on human society. By analyzing the complex interplay between mining techniques and geological conditions, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing subsidence and the measures that can be taken to mitigate its effects. The author draws upon a wealth of case studies to illustrate the nature and extent of subsidence, ranging from localized ground movement to catastrophic collapses. These examples provide vivid insights into the devastating consequences of poorly planned mining practices, highlighting the critical need for responsible resource extraction. Through a detailed investigation of the technical, legal, and social aspects of subsidence, this book serves as an essential guide for mining professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the sustainable development of underground resources.
