NUCLEAR DISASTERS

Strip mining
This is where miners of Uranium tear up miles of land in search for this rare element. They dig miles wide and very deep.
They have to use a lot of fossil fuels in the process to run their machines, which causes more pollution.
Strip mining could force animals out of their habitats and could kill them.
