1. Four uses of land
- Recreational - fun, non essentials like parks
- Transport - road, railways and airports
- Agricultural - farmland
- Residential - housing
- Commercial - business and factories
2. 21.67 percent
3. Soil erosion occurs naturally by wind or harsh climatic conditions but human activity include overgrazing, over cropping and deforestation overgrazing occurs when farmers stock too many animals such as sheep or goats on their land
4. A line of tress or shurb planted to protect an area especially a field of crops from fierce weather
5. If only one type of crop is grown the nutrients or minirals required by the 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 production helo in maintaining the fertility of soil..
