1. Why is the percentage of habitable land on earth less?

2. Suppose that you live in a village in the northern plains that is facing the problems of land
degradation due to occasional flooding. Suggest any two measures through which you can
restore the land quality with the help of other villagers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: 1. Percentage of Habitable land on Earth is less because not all types of terrains are suitable for human habitation. Like people tend to live in Plains rather than Mountaineous regions.

2. To protect your village from disasters of occasional flooding, you may perform the following steps:

• Try planting more trees and use different cropping methods in fields like strip cropping or crop rotation.
• Use leguminous plants alternatively to help restore the quality of soil as they have rhizobium bacteria to help in fixing of nitrogen.
