The various causes of land degradation is =
Deforestation-cutting down trees
Mining-leaves deep scars and traces of over-burdening
Dumping of industrial effluents
Over grazing
Over irrigation-increases th salts and alkaline deposits.
Causes of soil erosion =
Land use: Humans play a major role in soil erosion through their use and abuse of natural resources, for example deforestation, grazing.
Climate: The two most important climatic factors having a direct effect on erosion are precipitation and wind velocity.
Soil: The susceptibility of a soil to erosion is influenced by its physical, hydrological, chemical and mineralogical
Hydrology: Infiltration, surface detention, overland flow velocity, and subsurface water flow are important soil erosion components of the hydrological cycle.
Landforms: Slope gradient, slope length and shape of slope are the important variables of landform that affect erosion. I hope the answer was helpful to you If it was please mark it as brainlist ❤️
