Answer 2

Overgrazing occurs when farmers stock too many animals such as sheep, cattle or goats on their land.  

The animals damage the soil surface by eating the vegetation and either digging into wet soil or compacting dry soil with their hooves.

Over cropping is when the land is being continuously under cultivation and is not allowed to lie fallow between crops.  

This constant farming of the land reduces the soils ability to produce valuable humus for soil fertility as it is constantly being ploughed or stripped for crop growth.
