This document discusses land as a natural resource and land degradation. It defines land as the solid surface of the Earth that is not permanently covered by water. Land can be used in both urban and rural areas for various purposes like agriculture, habitat, and natural resources. Land degradation is the reduction in the quality and quantity of land due to human and environmental factors like soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing, and pollution. To protect against land degradation, methods like reforestation, wind breaks, fertilizers should be used. If land degradation is not addressed, it can lead to loss of soil fertility, less vegetation, pollution of water resources, and changes in climate.

make natural resources but gather them from
the earth exempts natural resources are air
water, wood , oil, wind energy

3. Land Resource
 Land, sometimes referred to as dry land, is the solid

waterThe vast majority of human activity occurs in land
areas that support agriculture, habitat and various
natural resources.

4. How to use land in urban and
rural area

urban sprawl land protest agricultural land
the urban fringe will be characterized by
certain land uses which have cither purposely
moved away from the urban area ,or reduire
much larger tracts of land

5. Land degradation
 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 also
environmental degradation is the gradual destruction or
reduction of the quality and quality of human activities
animals activities or natural means example water causes
soil ,erosion ,wind ,etc

6. Reason of land degradation
 In recent years industrial effluents and wastes
have become causes of land and water
pollution in several parts of land
 Degradation of natural vegetation caused by
over grazing by animals
 Un forestation and careless management of
forest

7. How to protect Land
degradation
 A forestation and reforestation
 Constructing tillage
 Constructing wind breakers
 Using fertilizers

8. What will happened not
protecting land degradation.
 Loss of natural fertility of soil because of loss
of nutrients
 Less vegetation cover,
 Changes in the characteristic of soil
 Pollution of water resources from the
contamination of soil through which water
sweeps into ground or run of to the water
bodies.
 Chang in climatic conditions because of un
balanced created in the environment.
