**3.1 Impact on landscape and land stability**

Stripping, excavating, damping of the overburden soil, drilling, and blasting of the rocks are the serious causes of soil erosion due to the quarry sites. Due to this activity, frequent soil creeps, siltation of down steams, formation of pits, borehole, surface ragging or cliff are created. Besides, agriculture productivity redaction, losses of the natural aesthetic of the area, and the bio diversity are created [14] (**Figures 3** and **4**).
