ABSTRACT Soapstonequarryingactivitieshave immense effects on the physical and human environments. However, it is not clear how individual soapstone quarrying activities influence the occurrence of a specific geomorphic event. The effects of resultant soapstone residues on farming and whether soapstone rocks can regenerate from such debrisrequire deeper investigations. It is on these constructs that this study seeks to probe the influence of soapstone quarrying activities on geomorphic process...
