Question

Define soil erosion, water pollution, land slides and drought

Answer 1

Soil erosion is defined as the wearing away of topsoil. ... If the rainfall continues, water gathers on the ground, causing water flow on the land surface, known as surface water runoff, which carries soil away and deposits it elsewhere.
********************


Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater), usually as a result of human activities. ... For example, people living downstream may use the same polluted river water for drinking or bathing or irrigation.
*****************"*

Landslides occur when the slope changes from a stable to an unstable condition. A change in the stability of a slope can be caused by a number of factors, acting together or alone. Natural causes of landslides include: groundwater (pore water) pressure acting to destabilize the slope.

************************


A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water. ... Periods of heat can significantly worsen drought conditions by hastening evaporation of water vapours.
