Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of inconsistency of needs of the modern stage of the life activity of human society and the possibilities of self-restoration of Earth's geospheres. The increase in the technogenic load and the rate of consumption of natural resources leads to a disturbance of the natural balance. On the example of territories of mining of non-metallic materials, it is shown how technogenic transformation of the natural environment provokes extensive negative consequences. As a result of the quarrying of non-metallic raw materials for the construction industry, the relief, microclimate, hydrological and hydrogeological regimes of the territories, the state of ecosystems, and the pollution of the environment are changing. In the vast territories of the deposits themselves and areas adjacent to them, dangerous exogenous geodynamic processes (suffosion, erosion, landslides, screes, etc.) develop. To preserve the natural balance, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive monitoring in the areas of deposits and introduce a system of recultivation measures.
Highlights
In modern conditions, due to the growth of population and steady increase in consumption of natural resources, there is a rapid development of science, technologies and the equipment
The increase in the technogenic load and the rate of consumption of natural resources leads to a disturbance of the natural balance
An increase in the rates of an expenditure and production of resources, which is inconsistent with the possibilities of self-restoration of Earth’s geospheres, leads to violation of natural balance
Summary
Due to the growth of population and steady increase in consumption of natural resources, there is a rapid development of science, technologies and the equipment. To increase the physical and operational characteristics of concrete, reinforcement (reinforced concrete) is used, as well as various plasticizers, etc Many nonmetallic minerals, such as sand, clays, limestone, chalk and others, are extracted in quarries and delivered to production. On the basis of route researches of territories of several quarries, which were held by the authors in the summers of 2016-2017, the schematic distribution map of superficial manifestations of dangerous exogenous geodynamic processes with the indication of degree of intensity of their passing was made Summary data on degree of intensity of superficial manifestations of dangerous exogenous geodynamic processes on the territory of quarries for extraction of non-metallic raw materials in Moscow region are presented in Table 1 and the Figure 5
