Question

why the land is divided by humans?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sections, townships, precincts and acreages were created — random divisions and artificial boundaries to the seemingly endless frontier. Property lines were drawn on pieces of paper — maps — dividing one person's land from the next. Landmarks and lines on maps told these people where they were and where their land was.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We estimate that humans have modified >50% of Earth's land surface. The current rate of land transformation, particularly of agricultural land, is unsustainable. We need a lively public discussion of the problems resulting from population pressures and the resulting land degradation.
