Study Notes
Deforestation
- The removal of many trees from an area is called deforestation
- Clearing land for farming, mining, and building roads leads to deforestation
- Deforestation exposes soil to wind and water, causing erosion
Overgrazing
- Overgrazing by livestock damages the land
- It gradually removes plant cover, making the land barren
- Loss of plant cover increases soil erosion
Soil Conservation
- Fertile soil takes a long time to form and is valuable
- Preventing soil erosion is called soil conservation
- Protecting soil helps us grow crops and maintain forests
Steps to Conserve Soil
- Planting vegetation helps bind the soil
- Afforestation is planting trees in barren areas
- This helps prevent erosion and create new forests.
