What type of energy is “saved” for later use (such as that stored by ATP molecules)?

Potential energy and kinetic energy. When energy is stored up and waiting to do things, we call it potential energy; "potential" simply means the energy has the ability to do something useful later on.

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.

explanation:

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
