1.. DEFORESTATION----------- removal of forest cover for various purposes causes rapid degradation of land
OVER-- GRAZING --------- over grazing of animals leads to the removal of vegetation cover and causes soil erosion leading to land degradation gujarat, rajasthan , maharashtra are the states which are facing this problem
OVER- IRRIGATION--------- it is responsible for land degradation due to water lodging leading to increase in salinity amd alkinity in the soil
MINING AND QUARRIYING -------- mining sites are abandoned after excavation work is complete leaving deep scars and traces of over burdening states like jharkhand M.P. orrissa , chattisgarh have faced deforestation due to mining that caused severe land degradation.
MINERAL-- PROCESSING----- mineral processing like grinding of limestone for cement industry and calcite and soapstone for ceramic industry generates huge quantity of dust in the atmosphere when it settles down on the land it retards (prevent) the process of infiltration of water into the soil
DUMPING OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE----- dumping of industrial waste and effluents has become a major source of land and water pollution in many parts of the country
