Question

Mention any two causes of land degradation.

Answer 1

1. Deforestation: The removal of trees for agriculture, urbanization, or logging causes soil erosion, nutrient loss, and decreased land fertility, all of which contribute to land degradation.

2. Overgrazing: Excessive grazing by animals can remove vegetation cover, compact the soil, and diminish its ability to hold water, resulting in erosion and desertification, further damaging the land.
