Describe how human activities cause desertification including desertification’s impacts on soil and the role of modern agriculture in causing Desertification.

Desertification is the destruction of the biological potential of the land and it is generally viewed as an advanced stage of land degradation. human activities also cause the process such as poor irrigation practices, deforestation, the expansion and intensive use of agricultural lands, and overgrazing.

Such human activities put enormous pressure on the land by altering its soil chemistry and hydrology. Modern agriculture causing a negative impact on the soil and land by overexploiting the biological and chemical potential of the land.

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.

the answer is :
