Gold is a precious metal used around the world in jewelry, electronics and even dentistry. Extraction of gold requires mining for it beneath the Earth's surface. Mining for gold has some negative effects, including erosion, the use of cyanide, loss of biodiversity and disruption of indigenous communities. Erosion Erosion can strip away much needed soil.
