salination and degradation meaning​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the salt content is known as salinization.

2) Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land.

Explanation: (1)

Salts occur naturally within soils and water. Salination can be caused by natural processes such as mineral weathering or by the gradual withdrawal of an ocean. It can also come about through artificial processes such as irrigation and road salt.

Explanation: (2) It is viewed as any change or disturbance to the land perceived to be deleterious or undesirable. Natural hazards are excluded as a cause; however human activities can indirectly affect phenomena such as floods and bush fires.
