Answer:

answer

Explanation:

There are many reasons why land use changes over time.

These include changes in leisure activities, industry and population size.

When an area of land is no longer needed for one purpose, it can be changed and used for another purpose.

This is called redevelopment.

For instance, old industrial sites that are no longer needed may be turned into new residential areas or transformed into wildlife areas.

Sometimes, even abandoned land can serve a new purpose.

For example, the ghost towns outside Las Vegas.

deserted settlement

Ghost towns are old settlements that have been deserted.

Years ago, the town of Rhyolite was home to thousands of people looking for gold.

When the gold ran out, the people left.

Today this land has a new use as a tourist attraction.

Human activities can dramatically change the landscape.

For example, dams are used to divert water from rivers and store it in reservoirs, sometimes flooding areas that once contained farms or homes.
