Mineral rights can limit the way an individual can use their land primarily because if they do not own those rights, they do not have the legal authority to extract valuable resources such as fossil fuels, minerals, or other subsurface resources. This can impact land usage since any extraction or development might be subject to the permissions of the mineral rights owner, which can restrict the landowner's ability to utilize their land freely. Additionally, if a landowner does hold mineral rights, they may be subject to certain regulations or obligations regarding environmental protection, which can also limit their activities on the surface.
