• rain acidification

What could happen if soil becomes degraded (infertile/unhealthy).

• Lots of food would grow

• The soil would catch on fire

• Flooding would occur

• Loose soil will erode

Which of the following is NOT a result of soil degradation?

• Increase in erosion

• increase in plant production

• desertification

The clearing of a forest and its replacement by another land use is called

• forestry

• clear-cutting

• timber harvesting

• deforestation

When human activity and natural processes damage soil to the point it can no longer support the local ecosystem.

• Water Degradation

• Erosion

• Soil Degradation

• Deforestation

Wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one area to another.

• Erosion

• Desertification

• Deforestation

• Urbanization

Planting the same crop, that needs the same nutrients, year after year can lead to-

• Acid Rain

• Soil Conservation

• Soil Degradation

• Ozone Depletion

Which of the following is not a result if increased salinity in soil?

• Negative impact of plant production

• Soil Degradation

• Water going from plant to soil causing plant dehydration.

• Increased crop production

Which of the following is NOT an example of something that will cause soil degradation?

• Erosion
• Increased salinization

• Making sand castles

• Mining

What causes water degradation?

• The water quality decreases because the water gets too hot.

• Nothing enters the water

• Harmful substances enter the water

• Overfishing
