Question

What can be the impact of soil erosion?

• A. Loss of fertile land
• B. Improve soil texture
• C. Leads to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers.
• D. Acidity level of soil increases.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Acidity level of soil increases.

These impacts include compaction, loss of soil structure, nutrient degradation, and soil salinity. The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species.
