Desert
Now, let's move on to the most frightening part. I will show you how deserts are made on Earth.
First I ask a simple question: what do you need to get started when a new surface mine opens? A person who has not lost his connection with nature will surely answer: a cover is done thoroughly. The top fertilizer layer is carefully picked up and taken to a new place where the barren area needs to be fertilized or folded aside to make it available until the mine closes again. Orchard is far more important to humans than mined ore. But ... Is this really going on?
Once again, let's see how the wheeled excavator chooses a layer of soil behind each layer
at the height of 30 - 40 meters, from large areas. Do you see a skewer here?

And here, there are two rigs at once that pick two layers of one surface. And just by the way - to get an idea of ​​the scope of such an activity, notice the big bulldozer on the bottom left.

What about here? What's brown above?

or here ...

Nowhere. Together with the extracted rock, they disappear on the transporters and later on the heaps of waste - often toxic - and fertile soil. The floor of the surface mine then forms an enormous already selected area suitable for the movement and movement of excavators, absolutely equal to the table. And totally dead ...

Considering the breadth of the pastry industry, which I pointed out above, the question arises - what happened to the top layer of soil in a number of countries where there was obviously extensive mining? In Latin America, Africa, Australia and other countries? If thousands of years of vegetation - plants, woods, meadows and savannas had grown without problems, a massive layer of humus had to be created. Instead, we see such scenes in these countries:
Africa

Australia

Brazil

Namibia

Was there really nothing but drought and ubiquitous dust from the very beginning?

Let's take a look at the metal not only for the aerospace industry, such as aluminum. It is obtained from bauxite, a basic mineral raw material for the aluminum industry. Bauxite looks like clay. Here is a mining scheme, as it should look like:

As can be seen from the picture, fertile grassland is removed and taken to a temporary cesspool. Large bauxite layers are then scanned from large areas. Photo from current mining:
Bauxita Paragominas, Brazil

Rio Tinto's bauxite mine in Ando, ​​Australia.

Bauxite Mines Alcoa:

However, if the mining site is not restored to the original condition, so that the plant can not be caught and the forests are not grown, the consequence is the gradual drying of the entire area and the irreversible process leading to the desert.

Red Bauxite Route in Kuantan, Malaysia. So far there is "just" ubiquitous red dust. Yet…

I think there really is something to think about. And do not forget to ask: In what year, according to the legend, they gave Car to the spoons of aluminum, which they valued more then gold?

Now imagine that there are prehistoric mines on the planet of several countries or the area of ​​the whole desert. For example, in the territories of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Iran, there are no fertile soil layers on most of their land, because almost all areas of these lands have disappeared from the soil of the power at places up to 100 meters - both raw materials and fertile soil with all living. It's hard to believe, but believe it is needed. Most of the areas on the planet dyed in Google Maps are yellow, they are the bottom of the former mines.
The Boszhira Natural Border is located in the western part of Ushjurt Plateau in Kazakhstan. Do you know that the background behind the car are weathered walls created by old wheel excavators on the edge of a giant mine?

Those dots in the middle of the slide are a group of cars. As far as can be seen, the top layer of soil was actually taken over by the power of 100 meters. If the water mass has now entered and created the 15 meter layer, we would get the analogy of the Azov Sea.

Because even the Azov Sea is a flooded old mine. Its bottom is equal to a table that was followed by a huge wheel excavator. Its maximum depth is only those 15 meters. What was happening here? Possibly thorium. Why do I think so? Enter into Google: радиоактивые пески Азова (radioactive sands Azova) ...

Scenery desert Karakum, area: 350.000 km2. Uneven surfaces with a missing soil layer.

I have the impression that there was a planetary “ejector” working on the planet, because this is actually a mine. For the local population, however, the "amazing" Canyon Jangikala, Turkmenistan.

According to the map Tuzbair, Kazakhstan - much more a surface mine.

Monument Valley, USA. Previously the area of ​​this area was as high as the rest of the peaks in the background. But there was a layer of power about several hundred meters away.

Namibia. Even this desert is the bottom of the mine.

Egypt. Here, not only the top fertile layer of soil was removed and disappeared in terricones, but it all burned a nuclear explosion.

The vast majority of Australia was filled with the rest. The soil is not, it is just a red desert.

Nigeria, the desert.

It is said that the ancient "gods" have created a man for them to do hard work in the mines because the Earth has been a rich source of various raw materials and since the earliest times there has been a great deal of great success. And they are still benefiting today, which can be witnessed by satellite imagery as well as many photographs of huge mines that you may have no idea. Perhaps such Bingham Canyon Mine, USA. Copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum are here. A huge hole inside the earth has a diameter of 4 km and is 1,2 km deep!
And you can also find:
Kalgoorlie Super Pit in Australia - gold; length 3,5 km, width 1,5 km, depth 360 m
Mir in Russia - diamonds; average 1,2 km, depth 525 m
Chuquicamata in Chile - Copper, molybdenum; length 4,3 km, width 3 km, depth 850 m. Find out more <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/Odstoupeni_od_smlouvy_EN.pdf?v=1595420299" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">HERE</a>
And that's just the surface! What then is probably going on underground ...

My final statement on deserts is as follows: a large part of them are entirely anthropogenic in origin and have emerged as a result of long-term mining activities. And more than that. You can easily confuse terms like "canyon", "valley", "gorge", "gorge", "plateau" or "lake" with "quarry / mine", "dump" or "flooded quarry / mine". And what we see today is just the result of our, compared to the primeval technique, just a crumb.
Does it feel like your hair and you wonder WHAT IS ALL THINGS?
Just be aware of how many missiles are flying annually on the orbit they are carrying and what, in addition to the cargo being claimed, carries when:
- Gram Rhodia stands at 230 dollars;
- the Osmia-187 gram is 200.000 dollars;
- California-252 grams cost 650.000 dollars.
Considering that the 1 kg load on the orbit will arrive at 3.000 dollars, it is fully profitable to pull out there - of course, in addition to spy satellites - and extracted rare elements and isotopes. The waste will remain here and the clean product ...

PS:
But it would be naive to think that they only benefit here, on Earth. At present, dozens of earth-based companies are also benefiting from the cosmos, especially in the asteroid belt. Do not you believe? Enter a "secret space program" link in the search ...
