Erosion of America's farmland by wind and water has been a problem since settlers first put the prairies and grasslands under the plow in the nineteenth century. By the 1930s, more than 282 million acres of farmland were damaged by erosion. After 40 years of conservation efforts, soil erosion has accelerated due to new demands placed on the land by heavy crop production. In the years ahead, soil erosion and the pollution problems it causes are likely to replace petroleum scarcity as the nation's most critical natural resource problem.

causes humans to place new demands on the land
is worse than it was in the nineteenth century
happens so slowly that it is hardly noticed
is the most critical problem that the nation faces

Polar bears live in the Arctic, near the North Pole. Penguins live in Antarctica and the neighbouring continents, near the South Pole. They are literally poles apart, so don't unite them in fiction just because they look cute together.
The word ‘unite’ (paragraph 2) is best replaced by …
break
slapping
noticeable
join
