Mining threat could increase for Antarctica, says expert
Antarctica will increasingly come under threat as the world's oil supplies dwindle, a University of Canterbury expert says Mining threat could increase for Antarctica, says expert NZ Herald NewBut, on the bad side there are a lot of concerns such as the scientists argueing that if we mine in Antarctica, this will cause the ozone layer to expand in size The hole in the ozone layer in Antarctica appears every spring, and by mining, it will only make it worseThe effects of Mining Sancta Maria College's Antarctica Aug 28, 2017 Antarctica is understood to have significant reserves of oil and gas as well as deposits of coal, chromium and iron ore According to the US Geological Survey, there could be Geopolitics threatens Antarctica's future as a peaceful Jan 26, 2021 Mining: This is another big threat because things like oil and coal and minerals like copper and iron will not last forever And the problem is that Antarctica has the worlds' largest coal deposits and possibly huge stores of oil that could be used to extract tens of billions of barrels of oil4 main threats to Antarctica PHDessayMining in Antarctica is banned indefinitely by the Protocol on Environmental Protection (the Madrid Protocol) This important agreement came into force in January 1998 Before then, the economic challenge of mining in Antarctica prevented any commercial operations There are deposits of minerals in AntarcticaMining in Antarctica — Australian Antarctic Program
