Question

Disadvantages of canyons

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Steep gradients and extreme climactic conditions combined with heavy foot traffic mean trails are being eroded as fast as they can be repaired.
2. There’s a strain on water resources and animal habitats are under threat.
3. The impact is most pronoun­ced in areas of concentrated use, such as camp­grounds, viewing points, bush toilets and anywhere firewood is collected.
4. Foot­paths are further degraded by mule trains that carry provisions and people into the gorge.
