Answer 1

Explanation:

There are five types of land use: residential, agricultural, recreation, transportation, and commercial. People should make sure they use land responsibly to respect other people and our environment.

24.39 percent

Based on satellite data analysis, the biennial assessment – conducted by the Forest Survey of India (FSI) and released by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) – has put the total forest and tree cover at 802,088 square km, which is 24.39 percent of the geographical area of the country

Soil erosion occurs naturally by wind or harsh climatic conditions but human activities include overgrazing, overcropping and deforestation. Overgrazing occurs when farmers stock too many animals such as sheep, cattle or goats on their land

shelter belt

noun

plural noun: shelter belts

a line of trees or shrubs planted to protect an area, especially a field of crops, from fierce weather.

only one type of crop is grown,the nutrients or minerals required by that particular crop is exhausted. This can be prevented by crop rotation as some plants take more from the soil while other plants add more nutrients to the soil. Hence, crop rotation helps in maintaining soil fertility.
