Question

what conflicts have arisen regarding the lithosphere and why?​

Answer 1

Major environmental problems of lithosphere may be as follows:

(1) Soil degradation, erosion and pollution,

(2) Deforestation,

(3) Landslides and earthquakes, and

(4) Loss of agricultural land for nonagricultural purposes.

1. Soil Degradation:

It has been reported from many parts of the country that agricultural intensification, faulty irrigation techniques, deforestation and excessive use of pesticides and herbicides have lead to widespread soil degradation

2) Soil Pollution:

Almost all the sources that pollute inland water bodies also pollute agricultural land and other soils.

These are:

(a) Sewage And Domestic Wastes

(b) Industrial Wastes and effluent.

(c) Pesticides

3)Forest and Related Problems:

During past 50 years forests have suffered serious depletion. At present forests constitute only 19.4% of the total geographic area of the country as against the target of 60% as laid down by the National Forest Policy 1952.

Hope it helps.
