Answer 2

Explanation:

At present , about 130 million hectares of land is degraded in India.

Continious use of land over a prolonged period of time without taking necessary steps to conserve and manage it has resulted in land degradation. Four human activities responsible for land degradation in India are as follows:

(a). In states like Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa deforestation due to mining have caused severe land degradation. Mining sites are dug, drilled nad abandoned after excavation work is over, leaving the land overburdened and in a highly degraded state.

(b). Mineral processing like grinding of limestone for cement industry and calcite and soapstone for ceramic industry generate huge quality of mineral dust in the atmosphere which ultimately settles down on land. It retards the process of infiltration of water into the soil, thus, degrading the land. Discharge of industrial effluents and wastes cause pollution and land degradation in industrial regions.

(c). In states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra overgrazing is one of the main reason for land degradation.

(d). In Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh over irrigation is responsible for land degradation. It leads to water logging which in turn increases salinity nad alkalinity in the soil and reduces its fertility.
