Answered by admin @
Answer:
Explanation:
The total cultivable land in india is about 144 million hectares out of which 56% ie (80.6million hectares) was degraded due to wrong agricultural practices.
Four human activities responsible for land degredation in India are as follows:
1. Faulty agricultural practices is one of the main reason of land degredation. Excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides is not good for the health of land.
2. Practice of mining by humans is also one of the reason of land degredation as it also leads to landslides.
3. Deforestation is also one of the reason as forests plays a major role in maintaining the fertility of the soil. Therefore excessive cutting of trees is also one of the factor of land degredation.
4. Overgrazing is also responisble for land degredation.
